Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Academic Health Center presents Mini Medical School twice each year. Each session, students embark on a 5-week exploration into the scientific basis of health and disease. Spots are limited. Register now!
Why Attend?
Your teachers are world-class clinicians and researchers from the University of Minnesota. Even better, you'll get to interact with them through Q&A sessions each week.
Anybody can attend: And we mean anybody. Your classmates will range from high school students to working professionals to retirees.
Presentations are given in a language everyone can understand. - so you won't be helplessly lost, scratching your head.
You'll be able to see real organs and complex medical devices up close during hands-on lab activities.
This fall's course is "Back to the Basics," where you'll learn about the body's building blocks through anatomy, genetics, biochemistry, pharmacology, and physiology.
