Mini‑Med School is open to all Baltimore residents and brings together participants of all ages and professions, from students and families to educators, health professionals, retirees, and community leaders.

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.
• The Mini-Med School for Kids Program (MMK) is designed for local city youth. In collaboration with the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club of Franklin Square, Mini-Med for Kids Program was created to help participants understand the harms and risk factors of non-communicable diseases.

There is no cost to participate in the Mini‑Med School for Adults Program offered in the fall and spring, as well as the Mini‑Med School for Kids Program offered in the summer.

Yes, we provide refreshments for all of our MMS and MMK participants.

Free parking will be available for all Mini‑Med School participants at every program location. As locations may vary by session, parking details will be provided during program registration and included with participant materials.

Unfortunately, formal credit is not available through Mini-Med School. However, our students receive completion certificates at the end of the MMS and MMK program.

Registration details can be found on our Registration webpage.
