Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine presents the 2019 Mini Medical School with the three-part series titled "Genes, Environment, and Choices" on Tuesday, February 5, 2019.
What’s the connection between genetics and a bowl of chili? That question will be answered by way of a hands-on exercise at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine’s Mini Medical School. The free three-part series, titled “Genes, Environment, and Choices,” will be held January 29 and February 5 and 12 at the school.
Charlotte Baker, assistant professor of epidemiology at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech, will explore how extracting information from sets of genetic data can be used for better health. Also, Kathy Hosig, director of the Virginia Tech Center for Public Health Practice and Research, and Julia Gohlke, associate professor of environmental health at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech, will look at the interaction of environment and behavior with genetics, community health surveys, and why studies disagree.
Each evening of the Mini Medical School will run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and include both talks and interactive activities. The series will conclude with a celebration and the awarding of certificates.
Spaces are limited. To reserve your spot, contact Courtney Powell at cbrakes@vt.edu or 540-526-2588.
The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine is located at 2 Riverside Circle in Roanoke, VA.
