Keep up on the latest medical information by attending the 23rd annual Mini Medical School sessions, March 6 through April 24.

This program is free of charge and open to the public to discuss medical training, medical procedures, current medical news and medical concerns of the public. 
 
Speakers for each session will include physicians and/or other health care specialists typically involved in the diagnosis and treatment of the symptom or condition under discussion. Speakers have been asked to focus on wellness, prevention and health care. Following a 40- to 50-minute presentation and a refreshment break, a moderator will accept questions from the audience relating to the evening’s topic.
 
The forum is not intended to provide diagnosis of specific disease concerns of the public, but to suggest paths needed for consumers to resolve their medical questions.
 
All sessions will be held 6:30-8:30 p.m. each Tuesday at the Landsbaum Center for Health Education, located at 1433 North 6 1/2 St.
