While prior scientific or medical background is not required, participants should be aware that these are no ordinary public information lectures. The level of information presented is similar to that for first-year medical students. Some of the presentations are not for the squeamish!  You must be over 16 years of age to attend the sessions.

At the end of the series, each participant attending lectures of Mini Medical School will receive  a "diploma" - just like medical students. However, unlike medical school, there are no exams - just informative lectures to help you better understand your body and your health.
