Tacoma Community College is excited to again be hosting our popular Surgical Demonstration event. This event is invitation only.

Advanced TCC Biology students will be presenting demonstrations to invited guests. Our students will be trained by practicing surgeons from Madigan Army Medical Center. These military surgeons generously donate their time and expertise to our students and guests for this event.

After your reservation is made, your parking pass and additional check-in information will be emailed to you. If you have questions, please email Molly Hagan.

Surgical Demonstrations have been a very popular part of the Science program at Tacoma Community College for over 12 years.
