Saint Louis University’s Adventures in Medicine and Science (AIMS) teaches distance-learning programs through a high-definition video conferencing system. The AIMS Virtual Anatomy Classroom provides hands-on interactive field trips designed to enhance any science curriculum.
About AIMS Programs
AIMS instructor Ray Vollmer has more than 20 years of experience in distance education, and can work with teachers to emphasize specific topics in anatomy or medicine. AIMS can connect with students in the classroom, at home, or in hybrid classes.
These hour-long distance learning programs introduce students to the wonders of the human body in a way that is difficult to duplicate in the classroom. Using a combination of high-definition cameras, human organ specimens and, in select presentations, human cadaver specimens, our presenters lead students through an interactive discussion of human anatomy, pathology and wellness. AIMS offer a wide variety of programming for middle and high school students to meet your curriculum needs:
- General Cadaver Demonstration
- Sports Medicine Cadaver Demonstration
- Forensic Autopsy Demonstration
- Anatomy of the Eye/Pig Eye Dissection
- Anatomy of the Human Brain
- Anatomy of the Human Heart
- Pig Heart Dissection
- Sheep Brain Dissection
All program requests must be made at least four weeks in advance of the date you wish to schedule and must be scheduled based on Central Standard Time (CST).
AIMS programs are fee-based and cost around $10/ student.
