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.

The University of Ottawa launched this program in 2004 and over 2200 people have now “graduated” from our Mini Medical School.

Each series is designed to stimulate and satiate your curiosity about the human body and the many health issues we face as a society. It combines the basic sciences (anatomy, physiology) with clinical cases in each lecture so participants can experience ‘being a doctor’.

Come and join our expert presenters as they highlight their expertise in their informative and entertaining lectures.
