Description

Class Experience

Note: This is my most popular one-time class (I mostly teach ongoing classes) and is nearly always full. I'm scheduling as many as I can around my ongoing classes. If you cannot find an available session or need it at a time I'm not teaching, it's also available as a flex class combined with several related classes that are also very popular. You'll see it listed as Mini Med School: Bugs and Drugs FLEX class. 

About this class: 

In this session of Mini Med School, we'll be discussing the...

Students will develop an understanding of the differences between bacteria, viruses, and fungus including structural differences, size differences, how we are infected, and how the different conditions are treated.

As a family physician with a decade in private practice, I love teaching young people about how their bodies work.  I believe that people who understand their bodies will take better care of them.  After teaching nearly 1000 students on Outschool, many of whom stay with me long term, I am an expert at taking the high level science and making it accessible to young people.

50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Nothing in this class will be or is intended to be medical advice.  This is merely educational in nature and will be a surface-level overview.  Your student will not be coming out of this class knowing anything about how to diagnose or treat these conditions and we will not be discussing any personal medical questions/needs.  Students should come with general questions about the topic.
