Beginning January 4, 2005, "Demystifying Medicine" will be held on Tuesdays from 4:00-6:00 pm in the ground floor auditorium of Building 50 on the NIH Campus. Please note that the venue will be Natcher Auditorium on 2/8/05 .
THE COURSE: The course includes presentation of patients, pathology, diagnosis and therapy in the context of major disease problems and current research. Primarily directed toward Ph.D. students, fellows, and staff, it is also of interest to medical students and clinicians. The course is designed to help bridge the gap between advances in biology and their application to major human diseases. Each session includes clinical and basic science components which are presented by NIH staff and outside invitees.
