Dr. Ray Robinson
Raymond Robinson is the Executive Dean of the College of Graduate Studies, Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine, and the Education Enhancement Department at the American University of Antigua. His prior work in Health Informatics includes being a senior manager at the Philips Hospital to Home Telemedicine working to extend Telemedicine across the healthcare continuum. Robinson’s research interests include patient safety, healthcare quality improvement, telemedicine, data-driven decision making in Education, and student-centered teaching. He spent four years in doctoral education at the Johns Hopkins School of Education and transferred to the Marshall School of Education to focus on curriculum studies and finish his dissertation. His doctoral thesis is titled, “Improving Student-centered Teaching Practices and Data-Driven Decision Making in Medical Faculty” and has led into developing a new adaptive learning management system to support student-centered teaching practices and to track student progress. Prior to these positions he began his medical research training working with Dr. Peter Pronovost’s team at the Johns Hopkins Quality and Safety Research Group (QSRG) on his international, On the CUSP: STOP BSI campaign. Since that time Robinson has authored several manuscripts and book chapters around healthcare quality improvement and patient safety. Robinson received his MD from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine while also pursuing an MPH in clinical investigation, biostatistics, and epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health where he completed a thesis study on “Airway Management by a Difficult Airway Response Team.” Robinson then became interested in the business of healthcare and quality improvement, so took time out to pursue an MBA degree at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School.
