Insights: U.S. Healthcare Mentors Developing Leaders in Rural African Practices

In this episode of the MGMA Insights podcast, we’re joined by Peter Korzenik and Larry Epstein representing Give Back Global, a nonprofit pairing African healthcare providers with highly skilled U.S. volunteers in order to improve management and non-clinical business operations in remote African areas. Korzenik is the founder and president of the organization, and Epstein has served as a program mentor since late 2018.
