Every year for the past decade the University of Ghana’s medical school has sent at least one person to the Annual Meeting. Julie Hewett’s staff can probably share contact info. Also, I did a week’s set of workshops at the University
of Zimbabwe a few years ago through an NIH grant. It was an enthusiastic group of faculty at the workshops, and I and one of their lead geneticists did a real TBL with a class on Mendelian inheritance – the students were clamoring for more when we finished!
Unfortunately, the medical school may have suffered further from the government’s chaos. I’ll reach out to my last contact there for you Jim.
With Brian’s posting and mine, you’re chipping away at the continent where man was born! Dean

Hi Jim,
I hope you are enjoying your time in Africa. For TBL in Africa in general, I am aware of folks doing TBL at:
Ghana: University of Ghana Medical School I think has some folks using TBL
Mauritius: Some faculty in one of the medical schools are using TBL
Rwanda: University of Global Health Equity is adopting TBL in January (we are running at TBL fundamentals series with them this month using online synchronous TBL workshops)
South Africa: Yoland Heymans at North-West University is using TBL in an inter-professional education class (1,200 students going to 1,600 next year); she gave a talk on this at
AMEE in August
Tanzania: Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College
Kind regards,
Brian

Subject: TBL teachers in East Africa
Hi
In a couple of weeks I am giving some free TBL workshops to 300 faculty at
Kabarak University in central Kenya.
At end of workshops, I alway point people to the various TBL books,
websites, listserv's and organizations. I also like to connect them to
local TBL teachers if possible.
Does anyone out there use TBL in East Africa or know people that do?
Take Care
JIM
