What is Mini Medical School?

Mini Medical School (MMS) is a free, hands-on program through Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science that introduces 4th-8th graders to the world of healthcare through interactive activities, anatomy exploration, and mentorship from medical professionals and students. Students gain real exposure to medical concepts while building critical thinking and teamwork skills. Parent Hero Academy (PHA) runs alongside MMS, providing parents and guardians with resources, workshops, and guidance to support their student’s academic and career journey. Together, MMS and PHA create a supportive, community-focused environment that inspires future healthcare leaders and empowers families.
