MINI MEDICAL SCHOOL 

   

STETHOSCOPE ICON
Mini Medical School at LSU Health Shreveport began in the spring of 2012 when 30 community members put on white coats and got a taste of what medical school is like for our students.
There are now more than 300 Mini Med graduates in the Shreveport-Bossier area! Taught by LSU Health Shreveport leadership and faculty, “students” learn about important health topics and the latest developments in healthcare fields. Sessions are typically held every spring and fall.
Mini Medical School sessions have been on hold but we plan to begin holding sessions again soon. If you are interested in attending a session, click the button below and complete the form to be added to our notification list.

What does it cost to go to Mini Medical School?

First-time participants: $40 (Registration fee includes a white lab coat and attendance to all four sessions)
  • New participants: Please refer to the white coat size chart below and submit your needed size when or after you register. White coats tend to run small, so it is recommended to size up two (2) sizes depending on the fit you prefer. The last day to register/submit your white coat size and be guaranteed a white coat is Monday, August 26.

Returning participants: $20

Light refreshments and topic handouts are provided at each meeting, and each participant receives a certificate and group photo on the last night the Mini Med School session.

WHITE COATS

New participants will receive a white coat on the first night of Mini Med School. Please see sizing chart and submit your needed size when or soon after you register. White coats tend to run small, so it is recommended to size up at least two (2) sizes depending on the fit you prefer. Returning participants: Please remember to bring your white coat with you each week. There is a fee to replace a white coat if lost.
