About Mini-Med School

The Faculty of Medicine Mini-Med School began in February 2004 in the spirit of forging stronger ties with the community and extending the reach of our school by sharing the expertise of our medical faculty. With medicine advancing at a rapid rate, many people are increasingly concerned with maintaining good health and receiving the best treatment possible.

Each night, two Faculty members will present on areas related to health and medicine. The seminars are intended to explore the scientific basis of topical medical issues followed by a question and answer session. The topics vary from year-to-year but in the past have included dermatology, obesity, blood clots, mental health, ER use, and many more. The intended audience will range from high-school students who may be interested in medicine as a profession, to seniors with an interest in health and health-related topics.
