This six-week course is designed to give members of the public a better understanding of the human body and some of its diseases. The course won't lead to an M.D. degree, but organizers do promise a chance to learn from some of the Medical School's outstanding teachers, and to gain valuable insights into health topics ranging from cancer to infectious disease. Classes will be in Med. II, in facilities used during the day for instruction of the U-M's real medical students.
