The Anatomy Outreach Program (AOP) at The Ohio State University aspires to enhance anatomical knowledge and appreciation of the human body through interactive laboratory experiences. In May 2022, the AOP held a 3-day outreach event called Anatomy Outreach Days (AOD). AOD exposed more than 300 high school students across Ohio to various human anatomical donor materials, a facilitator panel, and an anatomy-themed game room. Anatomy Outreach Team (AOT) members were recruited to facilitate the different activities with student participants. AOT facilitators guided students through nineteen anatomy stations across five laboratory spaces, spending roughly ten minutes per station. At these stations, students were taught using human anatomical donor materials such as hearts, lungs, and joint prostheses or participated in activities like listening to heart sounds. Post-event Likert-based surveys evaluating student and teacher experiences of the event were distributed following the event; 48 student responses and 7 teacher responses were received. Participant satisfaction with their experience at AOD was rated as 'excellent' with a score of 4.56 for students and 4.86 for teachers. The survey results also showed that students and teachers would highly recommend AOD to their peers. It was concluded that the logistical format of AOD at The Ohio State University was conducive to a positive experience for student and teacher participants.
