Peter Horneffer, MD

Dr. Peter Horneffer is the Executive Dean of the All American Institute of Medical Sciences (AAIMS) in Jamaica, which is an innovative new medical school which leverages technology to help build medical practitioner capacity in that underserved country. He also serves as Director of Medical Education at Lecturio.

He obtained his MD from Johns Hopkins where he stayed to complete his residency in cardio-thoracic surgery. In mid career he agreed to help create a new approach to delivering medical education to the underserved, and ultimately led the first school to be fully accredited using Internet-based resources and a hybrid approach to educate medical students simultaneously on multiple continents.

He still has a limited practice of heart surgery in Maryland, but spends most of his time teaching courses on Learning Science and hosts globally attended webinars for medical faculty, sharing effective ways to teach and learn.

This was so helpful. Having you break down the concept of learning really helped me understand why it is so important to recall what you studied.

I've been following Dr. Oakley since I set out on my nursing school journey (seems like eons ago now) with her free Coursera course and went on to purchase her wonderful consolidation of that material her book "Learn Like a Pro." I've been sharing her ideas with classmates as well, and I just have to say how excited I am that she has become part of Lecturio's incredible learning platform. Thanks to each and every one of the team members who have helped create and deliver this valuable content to us! It has made an adult learner like myself confident that I can learn as much as I want and most importantly - retain it!
