Mini Medical School - Spring 2025 Series
Mini-Medical School is a popular and ever-growing concept being offered all over Canada and the United States for the public. It is an innovative and entertaining series of lectures on medicine and health that are 'just like going to medical school' (but without the long hours and hard work!). You won’t get a license to practice medicine, but you will learn a tremendous amount and leave a more educated consumer of the health care system.
