Delaware Mini-Medical School is a free, six-week series designed for individuals who want to gain a deeper understanding of the world of healthcare – from dentistry and medicine to public health and research. This series is designed for middle, junior, high school, and undergraduate students, though all are welcome to attend. (Parents, attend with your children!) Attendees learn about trends in diagnosing and treating illness and general health topics. Faculty will provide in-depth lectures and allow time for questions to enhance the experience. There are no tests or grades. No previous medical training is required.
