COM Hosting 3rd Annual Mini-Medical School
Presented by several talented members of our faculty, the program also serves to familiarize attendees with medical terminology, enhance scientific knowledge and give new insights into medical research. Our goal is for all Mini-Medical School "students" to come away from the program with a better understanding of health, science, medicine and research.
Dr. William Rayburn will be presenting "Are You Confused? Controversies in Women's Health" on January 18, followed by Dr. Don Wilson on January 25 with "Diabetes and Obesity in Children" and Dr. Ben Green on February 1 with "Cancer Risk in the USA--How Are We Doing?" On February 8, Dr. Christopher Colenda will present "Aging and Your Brain", with Dr. Gary McCord presenting "A Bluffer's Guide to Medical Imaging" on February 15. Dr. John Quarles will wrap up the Mini-Medical School on February 22 with “The Flu: Past, Present and Future”.
The Mini-Medical School begins at 6 p.m. on all six dates: January 18, January 25, February 1, February 8, February 15 and February 22. Sessions will be held in Lecture Hall 1 in the Reynolds Medical Building on Texas A&M's west campus. Each session lasts approximately an hour and a half, and includes presentations by faculty experts, followed by a question and answer period.
