Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Telemedicine
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Rural surgeons in Pakistan face challenges accessing advanced training in multidisciplinary breast cancer care.
  • Telementorship offers a remote solution for surgical mentorship via audio-visual communication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on telementorship for educating rural surgeons in Pakistan.
  • To evaluate the utility and challenges of telementorship in this specific context.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search conducted on PubMed and Google Scholar for publications from 2016 to 2020.
  • Selection of the 10 most recent publications for review.

Main Results:

  • Telementorship may be comparable to onsite mentorship for surgical training.
  • Significant concerns exist regarding effectiveness, legal, security, and financial aspects.

Conclusions:

  • A pilot project is recommended to evaluate telementorship efficacy for rural Pakistani breast surgeons.
  • Addressing identified concerns is crucial for telementorship to become a future training model in remote areas.
