SUNY Upstate’s Mini-Med School opens Oct. 13

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — If you’ve ever wondered what health providers learn, SUNY Upstate Medical University is giving you the chance to find out.

Back by popular demand, the university is again offering its Mini-Medical University to the general public, with all new material for 2004. Energetic faculty will give short versions of their most popular lectures — ranging from how the body functions, to techniques used in diagnosis, to treatments used for disease.

No science background is needed to enjoy the courses, just a healthy dose of curiosity. The program is suitable for mature teens and adults.

The six-week program runs Wednesday evenings Oct. 13 through Nov. 17 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the OASIS Learning Center at Shoppingtown Mall in Dewitt and includes a refreshment break.

The registration fee is $20. For more information, or to register, call Health Connections at (315) 464-8668.

SUNY Upstate Medical University consists of four colleges and University Hospital. It is the region’s only academic medical center and educates students and professionals in health and medical fields.
