Telehealth is one of the fastest growing areas within healthcare, poised to change how patients access care and how doctors deliver it. As Telehealth expands globally and is adopted by more hospitals, there is an emerging need for trained professionals who will effectively and efficiently deliver Telehealth services. At Telehealth Institute, we’ve partnered with US medical schools and practicing physicians to educate future and current healthcare professionals from the fundamentals to the most advanced concepts of Telehealth.
Telehealth and medical education courses designed for medical and nursing students
Telehealth courses and virtual clinical rotations offered by US clinicians
TI represents a network of over 100 world-class physicians, surgeons and researchers who are proud to serve as a diverse, inclusive, collaborative and collegial community of educators and mentors to medical students and graduates. Students will gain experience as they learn and train with select faculty with prestigious academic medicine backgrounds from institutions such as UCSF, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, University of Miami and Harvard.
Virtual Clinical Rotations offers international medical students and graduates the opportunity to function within the United States health system by observing the virtual delivery of care. The program is meant to familiarize and acculturate a student to the practice of telemedicine in a US clinical setting.
