To sign up for any or all of these classes, go to the Mini Medical School website at www.genesys.org, or call 606-7725 . University of Michigan-Flint graduate credits are offered as part of the Master’s in Health Education degree. U-M students must enroll through the university.

Participants will:

• better understand medical information presented to them by their doctor
• better understand media and internet health information they receive
• be less fearful of procedures and illnesses
• take charge of their own health - which increases the overall health and well-being of our community!

MMS is a venue to bring the community to Health Park for reasons other than an illness. It willl allow our "expert patients" to become familiar with the services available through Genesys Health System. Genesys physicians will be able to interact with patients in an academic setting, creating ties with the community and other local health and education based facilities.

Graduate credits
UM-Flint graduate credits (1 each semester) are offered through the University’s Health Education Department and may be suitable as an elective in a UM-Flint graduate program or for purposes of maintaining Michigan teacher professional certification requirements.  For more information, contact Robert Hahn at rhahn@umflint.edu.
