The Office of Intramural research is pleased to announce that NIH's popular Demystifying Medicine course will be returning in January - May, 2005.  The goal is to bridge the gap between PhD's trained in basic science and the medical problems to which their skills and insights may be applied.  Presentations of patients and pathology are accompanied by state of the art analysis of related basic and clinical science.  The course is held every Tuesday from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. in the Building 50 ground floor auditorium (rooms 1227, 1233).  All presentations will be videocast.

Graduate and medical students, clinical and PhD fellows as well as staff are encouraged to attend.  Background information and handouts will be available.  Those seeking academic credit for the course can register with FAES at http://www.faes.org/

If you want to take the course but will not seek academic credit, you should register by signing up at http://list.nih.gov/archives/demystifyingmed.html

Those attending at least 75% of the sessions and who complete a web based final examination will receive a Certificate.  The course website and schedule are available at
