Date:10/18/2011

ces for MU's Curtis W. and Ann H. Long Department of Family and Community Medicine, LeFevre oversees eight practices with more than 90,000 annual outpatient visits annually. Since 2003, he has helped lead the electronic health record project for the University of Missouri Health System. He also has played a key role in MU's collaborations with the Cerner Corporation to enhance the use of health information technology, especially to improve care for patients with chronic illnesses.

As an educator, LeFevre teaches students the full breadth of family medicine, including outpatient and inpatient care and obstetrics. He was co-chair of the committee that completely revised the first- and second-year medical school curriculum at MU through the implementation of problem-based learning and early exposure to patient care.

A native of Burlington, Iowa, LeFevre received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at MU in 1975. He went on to complete medical school, family and community medicine residency and a Robert Wood Johnson academic family medicine fellowship at MU. Since joining MU's faculty in 1984, he has helped the university's family and community medicine department rank among the top 10 family medicine departments in the country for the past 17 years.
