Mini Medical School open to all walks of life

A program at the School of Medicine called Mini Medical School gives laypeople, from husbands and wives to lawyers and musicians, an abridged medical education that helps them to interact more effectively with health-care providers. Unlike a regular medical-school course, in which classmates share a basic knowledge of anatomy and cell biology, Mini Medical School mixes people with solid science backgrounds and people whose medical knowledge is limited to their experience on the cold end of the stethoscope.
