Mini Med School is a unique educational platform that offers a chance to learn from renowned doctors on various topics, from chronic medical conditions to the latest medical advancements. It is designed to appeal to high school and college students, undergraduates, CU faculty and staff, and community members.

It is a series of eight lectures presented by medical doctors at a first-year medical student level. The 8-week lecture series is split into two semesters. The Fall semester has four lectures on Wednesday evenings in October, while the remaining four occur in April during the Spring semester. Each semester includes a “Frontier’s in Medicine” presentation.
