EMORY
MINIMEDICAL SCHOOL 101 RETURNS
The popular
Emory MiniMedical School 101 is back with new talks on the human brain
and gastrointestinal system as well as lectures on the cardiovascular
system, the nervous system, genetics, cancer, and other topics. Some
of Emory's best known physicians and researchers, the very same people
who teach regular medical students, explain the basic structure and
function of organ systems and highlight exciting new advances in each
field. Highly visual lectures are followed by lively and informative
Q&A sessions. No science or medical background needed.
Hosted by Randy Martin, M.D.,
Director of Echocardiology at Emory (yes, you've seen him on TV) the
course will start February 19, 2002, running on six consecutive Tuesday
evenings from 7-9 p.m., with cookies and coffee served at 6:30. Tuition
is $80 and includes a "textbook," an Emory MiniMedical T-shirt, and
a (mini)medical degree diploma. Classes are held in the Woodruff Health
Sciences Center Administration Building, 1440 Clifton Road.
