Telehealth for the internal medicine resident: A 3-year longitudinal curriculum.
Elizabeth Barnhardt KirklandRagan DuBose-MorrisAshley DuckettPublished in: Journal of telemedicine and telecare (2019)
Telemedicine and remote patient monitoring are an increasingly prevalent form of healthcare delivery. Internal medicine residents must be adept in caring for patients utilizing this technology. This curriculum was effective in improving resident comfort and self-efficacy in providing care through telehealth and provided residents with hands-on opportunities through supervised inclusion in remote patient-monitoring services. This curriculum model could be employed and evaluated within other internal medicine residency programmes to determine the feasibility at institutions with and without advanced telehealth centres.
