Clirnet, a digital healthcare platform based in Mumbai, has entered into a groundbreaking collaboration with the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) to run a Mentorship & Observership programme jointly.

The announcement was made at the 17th Global Healthcare Summit, themed 'Cutting Edge in Healthcare & Artificial Intelligence,' which is being hosted in collaboration with the Global Association of Indian Medical Students and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi.

The Mentorship & Observership Model aims to provide valuable inputs and expertise from AAPI medical experts in USA to young and emerging healthcare professionals in India. Mentorship, a crucial component of medical training, is an important component in enhancing career development, professional satisfaction, and overall well-being of trainees. The programme will also offer doctors in India the opportunity to apply for observerships with AAPI physicians in the USA across various medical specialties.

Experienced AAPI physicians will facilitate interactive sessions, webinars, and forums, encouraging collaborative learning and the exchange of clinical knowledge. 

The intent of the initiative is to involve 60% of AAPI practitioners in training programmes to contribute their expertise to shape the next generation of healthcare professionals.

The Mentorship & Observership Model represents a paradigm shift in clinical education and global collaboration. This initiative is poised to significantly contribute to the professional growth of healthcare practitioners across India including the remotest of places, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation in the healthcare sector.
