What direction should genetic testing take in regard to patient care and research in the 21st century? Is your aching hand in need of an ergonomicfriendly office? How do you heal a baby's ailing heart?
These are among the many questions and medical topics that will be in the spotlight at the IU School of Medicine (IUSM) Mini Medical School Oct. 12-Nov. 16. Each Tuesday a two-hour session begins at 7 p.m. followed by a questionand-answer period.
