Something I have bave been very interested in and participated in on a limited scale is telementoring. There is an interesting article on what Akron Children's Hospital is doing in this area at https://www.akronchildrens.org/cms/publication/technology-brings-mentoring-into-operating-rooms/index.html
A direct quote from the cited article:
"“Telementoring allows physicians to perform new techniques safely by communicating remotely with an experienced advisor,” said Todd Ponsky, MD, a pediatric surgeon at Akron Children’s Hospital who specializes in minimally invasive surgery."
Dr. Todd Ponsky emphasizes:
"The telementor is intended to provide an extra set of eyes and ears, not to serve as an essential part of the surgery’s success,” Dr. Ponsky stressed."
Dr. Tod Ponsky is the son of Dr. Ponsky who was chairman of our library committee at Mt. Sinai Hospital for many years. He operated on my husband when he had his first hernia long ago and Dr. Ponsky senior patented inventions he made for minimally invasive surgical techniques. Mt. Sinai Medical Center closed in 2000, but shots of the website remain on the Internet Archive's Way Back Machine.
Although we did not include telementoring and medical type mentoring at http://www.amazon.com/Mentoring-Power-Sustainable-Economic-Innovation-ebook/dp/B00P9GZ2LM "Mentoring Power," it is my understanding that Reflections & Connection: Personal Journeys Through the Life Sciences IV may tackle the subject. Volume 2 in the series includes health care. The entire book, including Volumes 1 & 2 is an incredible bargain in Ebook format on amazon.com at http://lifescientists.blogspot.com

The Secret Relationship of "Mentoring Power" and "Reflections & Connections: Personal Journeys Through the Life Sciences"
STATS FOR REFLECTIONS & CONNECTIONS: PERSONAL JOURNEYS THROUGH THE LIFE SCIENCES:
There is a secret connection between two books on amazon.com, which are very closely related.
Reflections & Connections: Personal Journeys Through the Life Sciences is the basis for the short read, "Mentoring Power." The idea of writing "Mentoring Power," being the brain child of Dr. William R. Sharp who wanted to write a blog post. How "Mentoring Power" became a short read on Amazon.com is a long story, but the secret is, it is based on Reflections.
I wrote early on via the Reflections blog at http://lifescientists.blogspot.com that Reflections would become a classic and it looks like it is well on its way!
The stats of this morning are as follows on amazon.com for the ebook version, an incredible bargain at $3.99 for more than 1300 total pages of chapters written by scientists about their life experience. If you can not find it here, what you are looking for probably does not exist per the peaks and pitfalls of being a scientist.
Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #343,476 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
#75 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Nonfiction > Science > Biological Sciences > Biotechnology
#84 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Nonfiction > Professional & Technical > Professional Science > Biological Sciences > Biotechnology
Keep an eye on this book, it will see much action, and keep one reading for a very long time! However, it need not be read cover to cover, one can pick out chapters of interest and contact the authors -- check the back of the book for contact information. I am sure they will respond to your questions and/or inquiries!
