Course: MD ID 6002 - Virtual Care: Telemedicine for Future Providers

Description: Brief Description:

This course aims to provide a foundational understanding of the current practice of telemedicine and telemedical devices across multiple sub-specialties. It will give instruction on the practical application of how to complete a telemedicine consultation in the outpatient and emergent care settings. It will function to equip our students with an operational skill set that will better prepare them to enter the evolving world of telemedicine.

Students will be required to watch various pre-recorded Zoom lectures that will discuss ways telemedicine is being utilized from different faculty who are telemedicine champions within their field. They will also receive instructional lectures on how to effectively complete a telemedicine visit. Students will also be required to read articles and watch various video media. They will be required to write a paper on a new medical technology that is advancing the field of medicine that was not covered in this course.

Students will also participate in simulated emergent and outpatient cases where they will each be given the opportunity to be the consulting provider, the tele-provider and patient. This will allow for hands-on learning. They will be required to record these cases and upload them to zoom for a facilitator to review and then provide feedback during the group discussions.
