Re-Envisioning Medical Education:
Transforming Constraints into Opportunities
While pandemics have historically brought significant disruption and challenge, they have also been followed by significant improvements in the well being of mankind. We expect COVID 19 to be no different. We have therefore organized a new online seminar series designed to highlight opportunities for moving from the current Remote Emergency Teaching to a new paradigm of Highly Effective Evidence-Based Medical Education.

Peter Horneffer, M.D. Seminar Series Host
Executive Dean, All American Institute of Medical Sciences in Jamaica; Director of Medical Education Programs, Lecturio
Dr. Horneffer attended Johns Hopkins for medical school and residency, and practiced medicine as a cardiac surgeon in Maryland, USA. In mid-career, he was asked to help bring medical education to the underserved in the Pacific area. He accepted the position as Dean of a medical school, based in Independent Samoa, which he led to become the first accredited school in the world to use an entirely online didactic curriculum to educate medical students simultaneously on multiple continents. Today he is helping evolve medical education by serving as Executive Dean for a small Government- chartered Jamaican school (AAIMS) to improve teaching and train physicians for an underserved part of the country. At Lecturio, he serves as Director of Medical Education, helping shape its innovative learning-science based offering, which is used by medical students and schools around the world.
