About Us

Maybe you have chosen to go to law school or enter the business world. Perhaps you just overslept and missed chemistry class or played too much Frisbee on the quad. For whatever reason, like most people, you didn’t go to medical school. Still think you’ve got what it takes? In 1997, Harry Sultz, DDS, MPH, Professor and Dean Emeritus and Alan M. Reynard, PhD, Professor, Pharmacology & Toxicology of the University at Buffalo began a mini-medical school for people without a medical background. They wondered whether anyone would show up. Show up they did, and in droves. Many people have wanted to check out what medical school is like without having to do the hard studying.

As usual, participants won’t graduate with a license to practice, but they will become immersed in medical science and do it in the company of some of the leading physicians and researchers in Buffalo. The mini-medical school is set up just like real medical schools, with each lecture corresponding to an entire medical school course.

Enrollment in the Mini-Medical School is limited to the first 300 registrants. All the lectures take place from 7 to 9 pm in Farber Hall, Butler Auditorium on the Main Street campus. Recommend reading and reference materials are provided.
