now to attend CU Mini Med School Maybe you barely survived high school biology and, as time whizzes by, feel lost in the terminology, the technology, and the treatments that the medical profession is using these days. Perhaps you're a science buff who wants a refresher course or more information about what you read in the papers and magazines. Founded in 1989, the CU Mini Med School is a nationally recognized, eight-week series taught by CU professors and the Museum of Nature and Science's curator of human health. Topics include anatomy, cell biology, genetics, pharmacology, microbiology, immunology, pathology, psychology, and cancer. With more than 9,000 graduates to date, the program continues to be one of the most popular and anticipated events offered by the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center. Each presentation includes an hour on the evening's topic, followed by a question-and-answer period. Those teaching the courses are selected for their ability to make the language of medicine less technical. CU Mini Med School is a free, non-accredited, eight-week program and does not attempt to fulfill any academic requirements. You won't get a medical degree nor can you practice medicine, but you will get the background, the overviews, and the updates that can make all the pieces of the biomedical puzzle fall into place. The purpose is simply to enlighten, entertain, and provide a scientific background that will improve your understanding of the human body. The popular lecture series is a community service offered by the UCDHSC’s School of Medicine and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Classes are held in the Museum's IMAX Theater, located at 2001 Colorado Boulevard and by live video feed to eight sites around the state of Colorado. Registration is required in order to attend. If you would like to register, please CLICK HERE or call 970-330-3608. Courses will be held September 17 - November 12, 2008, at 7 p.m., in the Phipps IMAX Theater at the Museum of Nature and Science. To
