Mini-Medical School at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School

The Mini-Medical School at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School is a community program that educates the public in layman’s terms about diagnostic, therapeutic and preventative issues in clinical medicine and scientific research. Mini-Med School is a series of lectures, held once each week for several weeks, which offer community members the opportunity to study many of the same topics as medical school students. The curriculum covers basic science and broad biomedical subjects including, but not limited to, maternal/fetal medicine, heart disease, adolescent medicine, cancer, environmental medicine and neurological disorders. Each lecture is led by nationally-recognized, award-winning faculty at the medical school and may include small group discussions, hands-on experiences and guided tours.

Robert Wood Johnson Medical School offers two Mini-Medical School programs: one to high school students and one to community members from throughout New Jersey. Information for the high school program can be found at:
