Mini Medical School, a program of the University of Minnesota’s Academic Health Center, is taught by some of the country’s leading physicians and researchers. Mini Medical students study many of the same topics as our University health professional students. They learn directly from experts how the body works and how to take an active role in maintaining one’s health. At the same time, our Mini Medical students learn about cutting-edge scientific discoveries.
Our Mini Medical School faculty belong to the University of Minnesota’s Academic Health Center. They educate the next generation of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, public health practitioners, veterinarians, and allied health professionals. The University is renowned for its programs in diabetes, transplantation, neuroscience, cardiovascular research, and infectious disease. That expertise in research, education, and patient care is now available to you through Mini Medical School.
Mini Medical School has been offered twice a year—in the fall and in the spring—since 1999. The weekly 2-½ hour classes run for five weeks and generally consist of two lectures, a refreshment break, and question and answer sessions. Some sessions are augmented with hands-on demonstrations or experiential activities.
Mini Medical School “graduates” receive a mini diploma—not a medical degree. But they learn about new and emerging health-related issues, improve their knowledge about the body, and understand how research and discoveries translate into innovations and treatments. We invite you to join us for the next session of Mini Medical School!
