A Message from Program Director, Dr. Sean Reed:
With increased concern about the COVID-19 Delta variant and the rising number of cases in the surrounding communities, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our in-person Mini-Medical School Program this year. We feel this is the right decision to help safeguard our community, but like you, we are disappointed!

Thank you for your interest in the program. We do not have the capacity to keep a waiting list, but we hope that you will consider applying again in the future. We look forward to returning to an in-person format as soon as it is appropriate to do so.

Our team is considering the possibility of offering some type of limited virtual educational experience this year. If we do, we will be sure to let you know!

08/13/2021

Mini-Medical School is back for 2021! Wednesday evenings, Sept. 8 - Oct. 20, 2021, 6:30-9 pm, at UVA School of Medicine.
Applications are being accepted - Apply now to secure your spot. Tell a friend! It's fun, and it's free!

UVA Mini-Medical School is excited to announce the official launch of the UVA Mini-Med School YouTube Channel and the release of our special podcast series, “COVID-19/Charlottesville!”

Given the rapidly evolving information and uncertainty surrounding the COVID19 pandemic, the Mini-Medical School team wanted to gather information straight from experts here at UVA and make this information available on-line to the Charlottesville community. All 12 segments of the podcast, which cover topics ranging from the availability of testing with Dr. Amy Mathers, to racial disparities with Dr. Taison Bell, were written and produced by third and fourth year UVA medical students with guidance from Dr. Sean Reed, the Director of the UVA Mini-Med School program. We are grateful to the many individuals who volunteered their time to make this presentation.

Please enjoy the podcast and help us get the word out about this new resource! It is unclear when we will be able to resume our traditional in-person program, but our hope is that our YouTube channel will serve as an additional medium to continue empowering the greater Charlottesville community with practical medical knowledge.
