[edit] What is Doc Opera?
Doc Opera is a student-run variety show comprised of videotaped skits, musical performances, and parodied songs and dances about medical school and the medical community. Each year, the show is written, directed, and performed by medical students (as well as a few brave faculty). Proceeds are donated to The Free Clinic of Cleveland.
