Global telementoring has benefits on both sides of the call
 

PROVIDENCE

From the Providence Community Partnerships blog:

When she’s not seeing patients, Christina Borsari, M.D., loves to share her knowledge and experiences to help physicians on the other side of the world. 

“I feel a sense of fulfillment that can only be achieved by helping others, particularly those who may be less fortunate in terms of medical resource availability and access to health care,” says Dr. Borsari, a Providence obstetrician/gynecologist based in Fullerton, Calif. “I feel a sense of fraternity with other providers who are also involved in the same type of care.” 

Dr. Borsari has contributed time to global health programs for about six years. Recently, she joined 10 other Providence physicians who volunteer an hour or more each month virtually mentoring health care professionals in the Opoji Kingdom in Nigeria.
