For 20 years a UofL surgeon has been opening his home to medical students on Sunday mornings, teaching them the art of suturing. Dr. Morton Kasdan is a well-known plastic surgeon who loves teaching, in this case, a skill that first and second year medical students aren鈥檛 learning in the classroom.
There鈥檚 stiff competition among UofL medical students to be selected for Kasdan鈥檚 鈥淪uture Sunday鈥 classes, which feature a breakfast, a discussion about the medical field and hands-on training in suturing and stitches.
鈥淚t really speaks to his generosity and dedication to teaching to do it for groups of students month after month every year, just out of his own desire to share鈥 said UofL medical school student Jordan Jones. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 pretty incredible.鈥
Kasdan calls his 鈥淪uture Sunday鈥 time with students a blessing.
鈥淚 just really enjoy it and I wouldn鈥檛 do it if I didn鈥檛 like it鈥 he said.
Check out the video below from a recent Suture Sunday.
