Open Access Medical Education
Committed to sharing Internal Medicine focused lectures as free open access medical education.
This time last year, Louisville Lectures was in the beginning stages of a new project called Little Lectures, and we couldn’t be more proud of what we have accomplished so far. This summer, Louisville Lectures will continue to provide Free Open Access Medical Education. Along with our regular lectures, this summer brings more Little Lectures as well as new residents! Stay tuned and keep an eye out! Good things are coming.
