Our Purpose:
Students Teaching Early Prevention on Heart Disease is a
program aimed at prevention of disease through education. The program is
supported by first and second year medical students who travel to local
middle schools to teach students, in a non-judgmental manner, about the
nature, epidemiology, and prevention of heart disease.
Our goal is not to impose our values on the audience. We simply seek to
present the facts which will enable others to make educated decisions that
will reduce the risk of heart disease.
STEP on heart disease requires attendance at one lunchtime training
session early in the fall, and we ask that all volunteers commit to teaching
at least two one-hour classes at a local middle school. Pathological
specimens, stethoscopes, and a short video are available for use in the
teaching sessions.
Coming Events:
Friday , September 14 @ 12 noon in

If you are scheduled to do an STD
program, all you need is the teacher's manual.
If you are scheduled
to do a Heart Disease program, the
first group scheduled to teach that day will need to pick up the video and
stethoscopes from Gita Madan. You will also need to pick up the
demonstration organs on the second day from MacNider (e-mail Gita). These
should all be left at the school, and the last group teaching that day should
bring them back to UNC. The video and stethoscopes should be returned
to Gita and the organs should be
returned the same day to MacNider. The organs are sealed in plastic bags.
Please do not open these bags as it is a liability issue for the school.
Directions to each school are included in the
Teacher's Manual
