5) How did the Mini-Med concept begin?
J. John Cohen, M.D., Ph.D., a McGill University graduate and the son of Samuel S. Cohen, the first executive director of the Jewish General Hospital, developed the concept of Mini-Med schools. The first Mini-Med School was held at the University of Colorado in 1990, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the relationship between the medical school and the surrounding community. This popular public education program is now offered by more than 80 medical schools, universities, research institutions, and hospitals in the United States, Canada and several other countries.
