- The Medical Explorers is a part of the University of Pittsburgh Medical School and is coordinated by Dr. Robert Connamacher. Meetings are currently taking place Wednesday evenings at Scaife Hall, which is located in Scaife Hall, across from the Peterson Event Center. Meetings begin at 6:00 p.m. (don't be late!) and usually end around 7:30 p.m. The program allows students interested in medicine, especially those in high school, to learn about medical topics with experts and hands-on activities. There are also other activities, such as being able to see corpses and organs in the labs, and taking trips to places such as the UPMC Dental School.
