During the IP Video Conference workshop that I attended on June 27, 2005 at the NECC, we saw a demonstration of a live open-heart operation. The program is from the Museum of Science and Technology in Chicago, IL. The web site is http://www.msi.org.
The web site is wonderful! Filled with lots of resources. The teachers attends a 2.5 hour prof development program that allows them to experience the surgery and understand the process of the lesson. The students receive journals to complete before and during the program. The surgeons and nurses are connected to mics and there are cameras in the operating room. The cost is $240 for the entire event with the educational materials. The program is for 8th - 12th graders, mostly 11th - 12th graders. The program fills up very quickly. They begin scheduling for the next year in May.
This would be an excellent supportive piece for the Anatomy class at the district's high school.
The museum also has a "Take Flight" program that runs about 45 minutes.
Equipment requirements - uses Videoconferencing software for Video over IP.
