In the fall of 2019, Ariel Santos, M.D., MPH, joined 15 other telemedicine experts from across the United States as they convened in Washington, D.C. at the headquarters of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). Their goal was to develop a competency-based curriculum for telemedicine.
In March, approximately 18 months after the effort began, that goal was achieved when AAMC published, Telehealth Competencies Across the Learning Continuum. The guide, part of the AAMC series, New and Emerging Area in Medicine, is intended for people who develop curricula within the field of medicine and for those learning to practice or continuing their professional development.
