Mini-Medical School begins April 4; registration available by Web, phone

Have you imagined yourself in the middle of a real-life ?“ER?” or ?“Chicago Hope,?” the physician or nurse saving the life of a critically ill patient? Have you thought about serving as a dentist, restoring your patients?’ smiles in the dental chair? Or have you wondered what it is like to be a researcher, cooking bacteria or splicing genes on your way to becoming a leading expert in your field?

?“Inquisitive?” South Texans of all ages are invited to get a rare glimpse of the biosciences during the first night of the 2000 Mini-Medical School to be offered throughout April at the Health Science Center. This four week course, free to the public, will be offered Tuesdays from April 4 to April 25.

The first evening includes breakout sessions with hands-on activities in the fields of medicine, dentistry, nursing, research and emergency medical technology. Subsequent evenings will focus on the heart, the brain and living with illness.

Each Tuesday?’s program starts at 7 p.m. in lecture hall 3.102B next to the Dolph Briscoe, Jr., Library. The public is invited to any or all of the four sessions, but registration is required due to limited seating capacity. To register, call 7-1925 as soon as possible or access the Mini-Medical School Web page at http://minimedschool00.uthscsa.edu.

The Mini-Medical School brings together presenters from the Medical, Nursing, Dental, Allied Health and Graduate Schools. The event is an annual gift to the South Texas Community.

The first session, ?‘Exploring the Health Sciences: An Evening with a Health Professional,?’ will provide an evening of hands-on interaction with different health professionals, affording participants the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of a specific area of clinical activities, teaching or research.
