Listen to Dr. Stein's Medcast

Mini-Medical School is a series of community education programs designed to help improve the public’s understanding of the field of medicine. These lively, interactive programs include a six-week adult education course, a five-week summer camp for high school juniors and seniors, and a spring break for college students.

“The goal of Mini-Medical School is to allow the public to better understand what goes on in the hospitals and in the medical schools to help them better understand their care,” said Stein. “Participants love it. They get to understand how doctors make a diagnosis, they get to do hands-on things like perform laparoscopic surgery on simulators or do DNA analysis, and they really value the experience.”
