In this episode of CMDA Matters, we welcome Dr. Peter Cole, a distinguished orthopedic surgeon, educator at the University of Minnesota, and founder of Scalpel At The Cross—a medical mission transforming lives in Pucallpa, Peru. Dr. Cole built Scalpel At The Cross alongside his wife Nancy in 2004, dedicating their skills and faith to providing life-changing musculoskeletal care in the Peruvian Amazon.
In this episode of CMDA Matters, we’re joined by two incredible leaders from our Women Physicians and Dentists in Christ (WPDC) ministry. Dr. Sarah Rahkola, an internist and clinic medical director at Providence Medical Group specializing in geriatric care and substance use disorders, and Elisa M. Ghezzi, a geriatric dentist with 25 years of experience and a PhD in Epidemiology who teaches at the University of Michigan, share their powerful stories of faith and leadership.
This week’s episode features an inspiring guest: Dr. Klaus-Dieter John—a world-renowned surgeon, medical missionary, and founder of Diospi Suyana, a modern hospital serving the Quechua people in the Peruvian Andes. For nearly 20 years, Dr. John and his wife, Dr. Martina John, have faced incredible challenges while bringing high-quality medical care and the hope of the gospel to thousands who previously had little to no access to healthcare. His story of faith, perseverance, and God’s miraculous provision will inspire and encourage you to trust in God’s calling—even when the road ahead seems impossible.

Today, telemedicine is really gaining momentum. I myself wanted to get involved in developing applications in this field. I was lucky enough to find here https://www.softermii.com/blog/cost-of-telemedicine article just about it. Is it worth it and if so, where to start so that it would be cost-effective for me and make some sense. This is very important, so if you also want to do something similar in telemedicine, it is better to read here first.
Can you tell me where I can learn more about different telemedicine apps? Thanks in advance.
