On July 27 at noon, we conducted the first Distance Learning lecture in a series that is being developed for continuing medical education (CME) with the Haitian Medical Association (AMH) and its President Dr. Claude Surena. The pilot has been a few months in the making, as we needed to address technological issues that will allow the delivery of internet-based live lectures from North America to Port-au-Prince. Nearly 30 senior physicians, all members of the AMH, attended the lecture on acute renal failure, delivered by Dr. Brian Remillard, Section Chief of Nephrology/Hypertension at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, from his office in New Hampshire, USA. The event went well and was positively received by the participants and the speaker, and now we are working with the leadership of AMH to set a lecture series program for the next 6 months.

Two additional photos of the event are below.
