Heart Smart

About

Heart Smart is a volunteer organization comprised of first and second year medical students from the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Each month, Heart Smart volunteers travel to grade schools in Buffalo and the surrounding districts to educate students (mostly 3rd to 5th graders) on the heart and heart health. Our volunteers teach lessons centered around various educational stations, with an overall emphasis on healthy habits such as physical activity, nutritious diets, and abstaining from smoking. The stations of activities can include: interaction with a human cadaver heart and lungs, learning to take pulses and use stethoscopes to hear heart sounds, a hands-on activity about atherosclerosis, learning anatomy and how to read a chest X-ray.
