Although this project has ended, if you would still like to make a donation to support Scope and Scalpel, you may always do so here.
Thank You!
Dear Generous Scope and Scalpel Donor,
Thank you for your incredibly generous donation to Scope and Scalpel through our EngagePitt campaign. We were able to exceed our fundraising goal and carry on the Pitt Med Scope and Scalpel tradition for the 71st year because of you, thank you! Having alumni, faculty, and friends/family support us is so special. We had a very successful production on Thursday and Friday - celebrating our time at Pitt Med and are excited to graduate and become proud Pitt Med Alumni!
If you were not able to make the production and are interested in watching the show, you can visit our YouTube (@Scope and Scalpel Society) where our livestream will be available for viewing.
Thank you again for your generosity and support! We are looking forward to the Class of 2026’s Scope and Scalpel production next May and seeing how they commemorate their medical school experience!
Sincerely,
The Class of 2025 Scope and Scalpel Executive Board

We have exceeded our goal! Wow!!
We are so grateful for all your generous support as we have exceeded our goal tremendously and are currently at 128%! Thank you so much! We only have 4 days left of the campaign - any additional support before Friday will go towards sustaining Scope and Scalpel for years to come! Thank you for supporting this long-standing Pitt Med tradition!
We have started our production week rehearsals and have been working tirelessly so we can put on an incredible show for opening night on Thursday!! Please consider joining us if you are in Pittsburgh and don’t already have your ticket!
Only 8 days left of our campaign!!
We’re thrilled to share that we’ve reached 86% of our fundraising goal. Thank you so much for your incredible generosity and support!
With just 8 days left in our campaign, we’re in the final stretch. Every gift makes a difference, so please continue to spread the word and we’d love to see you at the show next Thursday or Friday! Don’t miss the chance to witness the amazing talent your support is helping bring to life!

Over Halfway to Our Goal! Thank You!
We are over halfway to our fundraising goal and it’s all because of your generosity! Thank you! Your support of both Scope and Scalpel and the Class of 2025 means so much. We hope you will consider joining us (and the ~25 graduating students participating) at 7:30pm on May 15 and May 16 at the Eddy Theatre (Chatham University) for the production!

$10
The Pre-Med
Your dreams are big and so is that stack of MCAT prep books. $10 will buy us one snazzy prop or the perfect missing piece to a cast member’s costume change.
$25
The Med Student
We know you’re balancing studying for boards with working on the wards and generally just trying to survive. Why not throw some of that hard-earned loan money our way? $25 can feed and hydrate our writing team for a whole night’s worth of work. Nice!
$50
The Intern
Not only do you double-check our Is/Os, correct our vital signs in our presentations, co-sign our orders, and shield us from pimping on rounds, you also slide us a cool $50 bill to help us plaster the medical school in beautiful Scope and Scalpel playbills. You’re the best! Sincerely, your fourth-year medical students.
$100
The Chief Resident
With great power comes great responsibility. No more notes, but you have to know everything about every patient and keep the team happy too! Cheer up your medical students with a $100 donation to help us purchase all the make-up and hair supplies we need.
$250
The Attending
Your medical students have meticulously calculated the CHA2DS2-VASc, Cockcraft-Gault, MELD, HAS-BLED, FENa, Wells’, Child-Pugh and Centor scores for all your patients. Increase their score by donating $250 to feed our cast and crew for dress rehearsal night!
$500
The Program Director
Now that you’re in charge of recruiting, you know what it takes to put together a good team. Ensure we have the best team possible with your $500 donation and rent our much-needed microphones and sound equipment for show weekend.
$750
The Chair
As chair, you’re the MVP of your department. Be the MVP of Scope and Scalpel with a $750 donation and provide all of the costumes for our large group numbers!
$1,000
The Dean
While only a four-letter word, the title of dean carries so much power...respect...fame! (or infamy?) A contribution of $1000 will pay for the set design and construction for our major scenes, and let’s face it, there’s no show without a good backdrop!
