Case Western Reserve University’s Anatomy Camp is an immersive educational program run by medical student volunteers. Anatomy Camp was designed with the primary goal of igniting curiosity and passion for STEM, more specifically in the field of medicine, among students from underserved middle and high schools in Cleveland, Ohio. We aim to expose students to various aspects of medicine including physical diagnosis, simulated patient interviewing, and anatomy of the human body through a virtual reality technology called HoloLens. We also inspire and encourage students to pursue careers in healthcare, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, provide hands-on learning opportunities and access to educational resources that may be limited in their regular school settings, and foster mentorship relationships between the high school students and medical student volunteers.

Membership Benefits
When you volunteer for Anatomy Camp, you gain hands-on teaching experience in a fun environment. You'll have the chance to share your knowledge and passion for medicine with middle and high school students. This enhances the teaching skills you will one day use for patients and can deepen your own understanding of medical concepts.

Anatomy Camp is also an opportunity to engage in outreach efforts for underprivileged schools, helping to inspire the next diverse generation of medical professionals and STEM enthusiasts. Volunteers get to make a real impact in the community.

Volunteers also get the opportunity to briefly engage in public speaking, answering questions about medical school life. Participating in the educational sessions can improve your communication skills and boost your confidence, preparing you for future patient interactions and professional presentations.

We send out regular event reminders and detailed information about upcoming events to ensure volunteers never miss an opportunity to participate.

When you volunteer, you will engage in:
Mock IQ Sessions: Interactive sessions where students work through clinical cases, promoting critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Hololens/Anatomy Sessions: Utilizing our virtual reality platform to provide a hands-on learning experience about human anatomy and physiology. (The kids love this!!)
