Health care is changing rapidly and news of biomedical advances, ethical issues and evolving managed care fill the daily news. We believe that academic medicine has an obligation to help people better understand biomedical sciences. Hopefully, the UA Mini-Medical School program supplements participants understanding of health care and sheds light on how we train medical students to address our future health care needs.

The Mini-Medical School of the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center is a six-week program loosely modeled after the curriculum at The University of Arizona College of Medicine. The lectures cover anatomy, biochemistry, neuroscience and pathology -- subjects the medical students cover in their first two years of education. The lectures are designed to be fun and informative.

This program is open to the general public for a nominal fee on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration generally begins one month before the first lecture of the series. Watch this site for registration information.
