“That's the selfish part for me: I'm recruiting for the
needy places.”
James Schlesinger, DDS ‘79, MD ‘86, is an
emergency medicine physician. But when he makes medical mission
trips to Haiti, he practices dentistry because the needs are
greater. He recently made a generous gift to BOCA (Buffalo
Outreach and Community Assistance), which helps send dental
students on trips to underserved areas. He says that when he takes
colleagues on such trips, they always go back. So supporting BOCA
is an investment in future fellow travelers. Schlesinger lives in
Fredricksburg, Virginia.
