FEBRUARY BRINGS EMORY MINIMEDICAL SCHOOL
Emory School of Medicine and The Emory Clinic offers the Emory MiniMedical
School Tuesday, Feb. 6, and it runs for four consecutive Tuesday evenings.
Continue -- or begin -- your MiniMedical education with this course,
which introduces you to diagnostic skills and tests. We'll continue
to cover some of the basic systems, such as the eye, the ear, blood,
and skin. In addition, experienced Emory physicians will explain how
doctors use diagnostic tests and sophisticated imaging techniques to
solve the mysteries of differential diagnosis. By learning more about
the body's systems and how doctors diagnose disease, you'll be able
to help your own doctor by collecting and providing information to aid
the diagnostic/treatment process.
The class will be held from 7-9 p.m., Feb. 6 through Feb. 27, in the
Woodruff Health Sciences Center Administration Building auditorium on
the Emory campus. No science or medical background necessary. Students
receive handouts, refreshments each evening before class, and a diploma
at graduation. Students can register through Evening at Emory at 404/727-6000.
