Junior Doctors Program – Heart Dissection: The Architecture of Life
Discover how the heart works and explore the foundations of human health!
The Junior Doctors Program – Heart Dissection: The Architecture of Life is an engaging, hands-on learning experience designed for students interested in medicine and human biology, and health sciences. Through interactive activities and expert-led sessions, students explore the structure and function of the human heart and gain insight into how different body systems work together to sustain life.
Participants will have the opportunity to participate in dissection of a real sheep’s heart—anatomically similar to the human heart—to understand cardiovascular structure and function, guided by a science educator and a medical professional. Students will explore the Body Worlds exhibit through a guided tour in the Houston Health Museum, experiencing a magnificent and thought-provoking presentation of real human organs and systems that reveals the elegance and complexity of the human body.
No prior lab or medical experience is required—just curiosity and an interest in learning about medicine and the human body.
