A More Inclusive, Less Expensive Way to Do Medical Education - Dr. Peter Horneffer, All American Institute of Medical Sciences

What this episode covers

Even though the practice of medicine has changed enormously in the past 100 years, the way medicine is taught is largely the same -- long lectures held on elite campuses in urban centers. Dr. Peter Horneffer is out to replace the “Sage on the Stage” lecture model with an experience that uses learning science and modern technology to make medical education more accessible to more aspiring physicians in more places - especially underserved areas. He saw it work while leading a program in Samoa decades ago and he’s currently pursuing that goal -- which he hopes will help address the global physician shortage -- as executive dean of the All American Institute of Medical Sciences in Jamaica and as Director of Medical Education Programs at Lecturio. Check out this revealing conversation with host Rishi Desai about a vision for a more diverse, inclusive and less expensive medical education system.
