Register now - the fall 2008 semester of Community Medical School begins September 16!

The Community Medical School lecture series began in 1998 and was designed to provide people in the community with an opportunity to share in the medical learning experience. The program advisory committee includes: basic science and clinical faculty members from the University of Vermont College of Medicine; a medical student; and members of the College of Medicine and Fletcher Allen Health Care public relations departments. The committee's goal is to choose timely topics and faculty recognized for their ability to present scientific information in an engaging, easy-to-understand manner.

Offered each semester, Community Medical School consists of seven weekly lectures on such diverse subjects as heart failure, DNA, food allergies, asthma, melanoma, stem cell transplants, coronary artery bypass surgery and incontinence. Each lecture is videotaped for distribution to libraries and to public access cable television stations around the state.
