AGING AND MEDICAL SCIENCE: A MINI MEDICAL SCHOOL TO PREPARE FOR LIFE'S SECOND HALF.
Welcome to the companion Web site of UC Davis Health System's acclaimed educational program to teach the marvels of healthy aging.
Since 2002, UC Davis has opened the doors of its School of Medicine each February to give an opportunity to attend classes focused on normal human aging and avoidance of the diseases we associate with aging. Classes are taught by top academic physicians and scientists, and instruction is at the level of a first or second year medical student.
Although the program is ideally geared for the foresighted middle ager and novice senior, there are no age limits for Mini Medical School. "Students" have ranged from their twenties to nineties, and have included curious younger individuals and vigorous older adults. The common bond is a passion for understanding the science of aging well.

The medical bag carries on a long tradition
The accouterments of medical doctors these days include electronic pagers, lab coats and digital instruments. In years past, however, physicians were most readily identified by the medical bags they carried. When doctors made “house calls” to the homes of patients, they toted a medical bag to carry medical equipment and supplies. In the 19th century, physicians traveled with their leather medical bag by horse and buggy, or on horseback using medical saddlebags.How to Grow Old Gracefully - Watch WebMD Video
