Emerging Pathogens was the theme of this year’s Mini Medical School. The University of Florida has numerous research and clinical faculty working together as part of the University-wide Emerging Pathogens Initiative and several volunteered their time to assist Mini Medical School. Dr. Grant McFadden provided the keynote address focusing on both the broad impact of emerging pathogens and his work with pox virus. Dr. Paul Gibbs focused a bit more on animal diseases including avian influenza that is alerting the world. Dr. Parker Small spoke about human influenza and described in detail the pathology associated with the illness.
Nine faculty members opened their laboratories for the participants to have the rare opportunity of seeing research in action. The participants also had the chance to exchange teaching lessons that have proven successful in their classrooms.
This year’s 90 registrants represented the counties of: Alachua, Brevard, Broward, Charlotte, Citrus, Clay, Columbia, Duval, Hillsborough, Lake, Lee, Leon, Manatee, Marion, Nassau, Orange, Osceola, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Sarasota, Seminole, Sumter, and Volusia.
This event is coordinated each year by the UF Center for Precollegiate Education and Training with sponsorship from the UF Medical Guild and luncheon sponsorship courtesy of Shands HealthCare Community Affairs.

- Powerpoint presentations from faculty speakers to use in classrooms
- CD-ROM containing multiple websites and curriculum materials about infectious disease and emerging pathogens
