Medical School Hotline: The Role of Mini-Medical Schools in Education

摘要

The explosion of information on the World Wide Web (WWW) makes it vital that consumers and students are properly informed on health information and know how to distinguish and decipher that information. In this fast moving information age, many sources of data may not be based on science or may be skewed based on the intentions of the provider. Mini-Medical Schools (MMSs) can provide a dependable forum for health information, such that participants can become conscientious health consumers and are able to make informed health-related decisions. In addition, MMSs can specialize in particular areas of medicine and medical education for in-depth knowledge.
