Telemedicine | Presence Training

Telemedicine is a subset of telehealth, utilizing electronic communication and information technology to provide clinical health care from a distance. This approach has transformed the way healthcare is delivered, particularly in rural or underserved areas, by leveraging telecommunications technologies to connect patients with healthcare professionals. According to the Federation of State Medical Boards, telemedicine is defined as the practice of medicine using electronic communication, information technology, or other means between a physician in one location and a patient in another location. The use of telemedicine has been endorsed by organizations such as the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
