Aloha! These topics are based on presentations in the Mini-Medical School (MMS) on Healthy Aging at the John A. Burns School of Medicine, UH Mānoa. The MMS was started in Spring 2014 and continutes annually with a new series of lectures every Spring (repeated in the Fall of that year).
Our MMS expert presenters present key points and recommendations on topics designed to prepare participants for the second half of their lives by delivering relevant scientific information on aging, similar to what our medical students learn, but tailored for public audiences. These lectures are specifically designed to engage community groups in discussions about these important topics. Mahalo!
