Abstract	The growing movement in STEM education is popularizing active learning, which has benefits for high school and undergraduate students, especially those in rural areas with limited resources. In Mississippi, daunting health disparities in incidence of stroke, cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, and obesity warrant the implementation of outreach programs that expose high school and graduate students to the health sciences, such as anatomy, and to health literacy. The outreach program at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) incorporates informal learning sessions whereby high school and undergraduate students rotate in the gross anatomy lab through various stations featuring organ systems. These sessions benefit the students by engaging their critical thinking skills, motivating them to lead healthier lifestyles, and incentivizing them to pursue careers in the health sciences.
