UCSF Mini Medical SchoolThe UCSF Mini Medical School is designed to provide members of the community the opportunity to see and hear what goes on every day in UCSF's classrooms and research labs with lectures from the same faculty who are on the front lines, teaching students in the health professions. Mini Med addresses the accelerating public interest in the scientific knowledge behind the health headlines, the role of the consumer in health care decision making, and each citizen's role in participating in the shaping of health policy. One of life's valuable lessons is to keep asking questions. The UCSF Mini Medical School (UMMS) encourages Bay Area adults to pursue lifelong intellectual exploration in health and the health sciences. UMMS offers participants the simple pleasure of learning — no tests or grades. Supported in part by the Bernard Osher Foundation, this UCSF community education program is sponsored by the UCSF Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy, the UCSF Medical Center and the UCSF Public Affairs Department.
