Thursday, September 29, 2011 Aim for SLU’s Videoconferences
Saint Louis University’s AIMS program- that’s Adventures in Medicine and Science- provides distance learning presentations through a state-of-the-art high definition videoconferencing system. The AIMS Virtual Anatomy Classroom provides hands-on interactive field trips designed to enhance any science curriculum.
AIMS was recently honored for the third consecutive school year with a Pinnacle Award from the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration for distance learning programs. This award, presented annually, is based on teacher evaluations submitted through the CILC website and recognizes outstanding performance by a content provider.
There is a limit of 3 classes (90 students) to allow for ample opportunity for discussion and questions during videoconferences, which cost $250 each.
Ray Vollmer (above) presents on several topics, including:
• Anatomy of the Eye/Pig Eye Dissection
• Anatomy of the Human Brain/Sheep Brain Dissection
• Anatomy of the Human Heart /Pig Heart Dissection
• Mr. Bones
• Teen Nutrition

Thursday, August 13, 2009 Aim for these Videoconferences!
Saint Louis University’s Adventures in Medicine and Science was created so students could enrich their scientific learning. Videoconferences introduce students to human anatomy, stimulate awareness of good health practices, provide information about injury prevention and lead students to a better understanding of career choices in medicine. Experts guide students in the following topics over interactive v/c: You Are What You Eat: Teen Nutrition; Dental Health: Disease & Injury, Prevention and Treatment; Organ Transplant.
Programs can be scheduled upon request. Preferred days are Thursdays & Fridays:
* General Cadaver Demo – Students participate in an interactive cadaver demo.
* Forensic Autopsy Demonstration – Students participate in an interactive cadaver demo. The demo will discuss the basic procedure of a cadaver demo, during which the principles of objectivity, scientific method & evidence gathering will be outlined.
* General Sports Medicine Demonstration – Students participate in an interactive cadaver demo that will outline most of the common sports injuries of the shoulder, elbow, knee and ankle. Basic principles of injury management will also be discussed.
* Dissections: Pig Heart, Sheep Brain
Select from two starting times, 9:00 am or 10:15 am CT; elementary programs are 45 minutes, middle and high school programs are an hour; New Links members get a discounted rate | Non-members: $200 for virtual field trips; $225 for cadaver demos.
And…. congratulations….

Wednesday, October 10, 2007 New AIMS Programs
Our friends at Saint Louis University continue to put on quality programs. Adventures in Medicine and Science (AIMS) added two new programs their schedule: Your Role in the Environment and Dental Health. Your Role in the Environment dates are November 9 and February 28; Dental Health dates are November 14 and April 16.
According to AIMS, Environment will be presented by the Director of Saint Louis University’s Environmental Science Center and it will explore human interaction with the solid earth, hydrosphere, and atmosphere- which often results in natural hazards and disasters. Dental Health will discuss disease, injury, prevention and treatment. For a list of all of AIMS programs, dates and times, visit the New Links to New Learning program page. When my schools connect to AIMS for videoconferences, I only hear positive reviews. Other programs popular with schools are the General Cadaver Demonstration, Sports Medicine Cadaver Demonstration, and Forensic Autopsy Cadaver Demonstration.
