Which Mini-Med School Program should I attend?
The University of Maryland School of Medicine hosts two Mini-Medical School programs annually.
-
The Mini‑Med School for Adults Program (MMS), held twice a year in the fall and spring, is open to all Baltimore‑area residents. The lectures are casual, engaging, and focused on helping participants make informed decisions about their health. Previous topics have included chronic disease prevention, heart health, diabetes, glaucoma, vaccinations, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.
