About Mini-Med School
The Faculty of Medicine's Mini-Med School began in February 2004 to forge stronger ties with the community and extend our school's reach by sharing our medical faculty's expertise. With medicine advancing rapidly, many people are increasingly concerned with maintaining good health and receiving the best treatment possible.
Each night, two members of the medical community 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. All information is presented in an easy-to-understand style. 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.
Experience and participate in large group discussions on various topics presented by members of our medical community.
These sessions will run from April 24- May 29 and will be held in person at the Main Auditorium (T-Aud) in the Faculty of Medicine Building and online (via Webex).
Note: The Mini-Med School educational program is best suited for Grades 10, and Up. Onsite (In-person) capacity is restricted to 300. We only accept credit cards for payments. We do not accept Visa Debit cards.
