Early Fall 2024 Delaware Mini Medical School is produced in partnership with Bayhealth and the Sussex County Health Coalition. Funds from the State of Delaware, American Rescue Plan underwrite it.

Research conducted by the Academy/DPHA in the summer and fall of 2022 and reviewed in the summer of 2024 shows that Delaware has a number of “Pathways” programs, including our own Delaware Mini Medical School which has been in continuous operation since 2009. This research is highlighted in the following pdf document – An Environmental Scan of Healthcare Pathways Programs in Delaware. An updated spreadsheet is available here.
A component of the Delaware Health Force strategy is to reach out to youth, especially those in areas disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic, encouraging young minds to consider an educational path that leads them to a career in the health sciences.
To implement this strategy we are modeling a version of the Mini Medical School program focused exclusively on middle, junior, high school, and undergraduate students.
Graduates of this six-week series who attend all live sessions receive a signed certificate and are eligible to become members of our new Delaware Youth Medical Academy after composing a reflection paper on their learned experience.
