SCHOLARSHIP AND RESEARCH Vicky Finnerty searches for a new cancer pathway Fehrenbach examines role of film in Nazi Germany MiniMed School announces fall dates The Emory MiniMedical School is returning for its sixth year with classes beginning Sept. 28 and running for eight Tuesday evenings through Nov. 16. The course, part of the Evening at Emory program, brings in medical school faculty to teach basic information in how the human body works, what can go wrong with it and what people can do to keep themselves and their families and communities healthier. When the fifth class ended last November, there were more than 2,500 MiniMedical School "graduates" of the introductory 101 course. Since there is no prerequisite for enrolling, previous participants have spanned a wide range of ages and educational backgrounds. Tuition for the 101 course is $75, which provides a textbook with specially written handouts and illustrations to reflect the weekly topics covered. Graduates receive T-shirts and diplomas.
