Mini Med School
OPED’s Mini Med School is a long standing program offered via live and webinar settings in the spring of each year. The Mini Medical School began in 2004 in the spirit of building stronger ties with the community by sharing the expertise of our medical faculty and other members of the health professional community. Faculty members volunteer their time to present on areas related to health and wellness.
