title: Mini-medical school enhances hospital's stature in market area.
abstract: There is a waiting list for each eight-week session of the "Mini-Medical School" run by Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Mass. The program offers classes on medical subjects to the general public. Its goal is to bring together physicians and people of the community. The faculty members, who hold teaching appointments at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, are as enthusiastic about the program as their students.
