Mini Medical School

The 20th session of Mini Medical School begins 6 p.m., Monday, February 23, 2009, at the University of Minnesota.  Mini Medical School students will embark upon a five-week exploration into the scientific basis of health and disease presented in language everyone can understand.  Mini Medical School is an opportunity for community members to experience life as a student in the Academic Health Center and to learn from world-class clinicians and researchers at the University of Minnesota.

Mini Medical School faculty members come from varied backgrounds and have a broad range of expertise.  The theme of the spring 2009 series is “New Frontiers of Medicine.”    

New Frontiers of Medicine

Star Trek fans may recall Captain Kirk’s voice announcing “Space: The final frontier” during the hit TV show’s three-year run in the late 1960s. 

Today, another frontier beckons scientists, researchers, physicians and other clinicians: the field of medicine.  They dedicate their lives to their ideas, their research, and to bringing these “a-ha” moments to fruition, whether it be a new way of caring for patients, better understanding the body, or discovering a new drug, device, or treatment.    

Our distinguished Mini Medical School faculty will share the very latest in scientific advances including the detection and treatment of cancer; life-saving biomedical devices; cutting-edge medications and therapies; and the fascinating field of minimally invasive surgery.  These sessions of Mini Medical School promise to be a richly rewarding and superb educational experience.  Please join us!
