Telemedicine: Providing Safe Care During Coronavirus Pandemic

We are facing unprecedented challenges. With the dramatic explosion of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, physicians and medical professionals who see patients in their practice every day, face uncertainty and risks. Even if their practice didn’t use telemedicine before, it may be an option now. Fortunately, you can learn from those physicians and medical professionals who have been practicing telemedicine and telehealth for quite some time. In this self-paced CME course, you will learn from their expertise on how to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients while protecting yourself, your patients and your community. With the evolution of telemedicine patients can now receive health care from doctors and hospitals using the power of virtual connections, image sharing and video conferencing. Telemedicine facilitates safer access to care that can be quick, efficient and, most of all remote – for people all over the world. Learn how you, your practice and your community can benefit from providing services to patients over long distances, as well as share health information safely.

This course is relevant for U.S. and worldwide physicians, medical students, residents, nurses, physician assistants and other allied health and medical professionals who participate in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
