Dr. Traci Wolbrink, MD MPH, Associate Professor in Anaesthesia, Harvard Medical School, is the founder and co-director of OPENPediatrics

OPENPediatrics: Online Learning for Global Health Professionals

Dr. Traci Wolbrink is a pediatrician who realized that many doctors in rural or underserved areas did not have sufficient training materials.
She had the idea of creating an open-source learning software like MIT Opencourseware to help them learn.
One constraint was that it had to be downloadable, somewhat like an app, and be passed along on a storage device.
The result was software that could be downloaded and give feedback on modules participants could complete, and if they were connected to the Internet, could also adapt to give them more feedback.
