Societal Implications of Medical Advances (Winter Term 2025)

Participant Testimonials: 

One of the best Osher course I have ever attended.  A great experience with interested class members, many of whom were able to add useful and pertinent comments.

Dr. Comi did an amazing job preparing and presenting this course, and somehow managed to cover all of the topics he intended to without seeming rushed about it.

Demystifying Metabolism, Obesity, and Diabetes: You’re Not Just What You Eat (Spring Term 2024)

Participant Testimonials: 

Dr. Comi did an excellent job of explaining an exceptionally complex bio-chemical process that runs our bodies 24 hours a day

Both course and leader Dr. Comi were outstanding. I will take this same course again if offered, and have five friends who are interested in attending next time as well.
