“…Several studies have successfully experimented with ultrasound education narrowly tailored to medical students. Students have been taught to use ultrasound to improve anatomic knowledge, 12 to aid in patient care in emergency department settings, 7 to learn basic scanning techniques, 13,14 to assist in cardiac [15][16][17][18] and physical 19 examinations, as part of a rural medical practice setting, 20 and in a radiology core clerkship. 21 This study documents a comprehensive vertical ultrasound curriculum that integrates didactic, hands-on, and clinical training in a medical school setting.…”

As residency programs adopt ultrasound training, medical school faculty should consider incorporating ultrasound education into their curriculum. Portable ultrasound has the potential to be used in many different settings, including rural practice sites and sporting events. The WSUSOM committee's pilot ultrasound curriculum will continue to use student feedback to enhance the ultrasound experience, helping students prepare for challenges that they will face in the future.

“…67 In another pilot project, a medical student from Emory University (US) spent 6 weeks in the Solomon Islands and was able to conduct 8 teleconsultations with his mentors in the US after 1 hour of training in the use of the system. 68 After the student departed, the local Solomon Islands team used this pilot telemedicine system to conduct 60 more teleconsultations.…”

Access to quality cancer care is often unavailable not only in low- and middle-income countries but also in rural or remote areas of high-income countries. Teleoncology (oncology applications of medical telecommunications, including pathology, radiology, and other related disciplines) has the potential to enhance both access to and the quality of clinical cancer care as well as education and training. Its implementation in the developing world requires an approach tailored to priorities, resources, and needs. We believe that teleoncology can best achieve its proposed goals through programmatic, consistent, and long-term application. Here we review teleoncology initiatives that have the potential to decrease cancer care inequality between resource-poor and resource-rich institutions and offer guidelines for the development of teleoncology programs in low- and middle-income countries.

“…Consultation skills, communication skills, and clinical reasoning skills can be taught and assessed over the virtual platform. A TM system between Gizo Hospital in the Solomon Islands and Emory University Hospital in the USA is doing this [32] type of online clinical teaching with remote patients . It has shifted the clinical environment to the home environment.…”

Background—The history of telemedicine parallels the history of communication and information technologies. With the advancement in information and communication technologies, telemedicine has also progressed. Still, it could not gain a respectable place in the healthcare delivery system due to lack of clear guidelines, lack of multidisciplinary approach to patient management, onerous privacy regulations, lack of reimbursement, lack of human touch in teleconsultations, and lack of integration with the national health system. There is a need to promote telemedicine services by looking into the current framework and bringing necessary changes to ease the delivery of services. Also, proper training of health care professionals about digital communication to improve patient outcome, and the introduction of telemedicine in medical education so that medical students do not suffer in the present scenario of COVID-19. Methods- We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, and PubMed Central. We used free-text terms and MeSH terms such as telemedicine, telemedicine, and COVID 19 pandemic, telemedicine and medical education, telemedicine pitfalls. Data regarding the guidelines of telemedicine and waivers during the pandemic, the current status of telemedicine in the healthcare delivery system, and its promotion during the epidemic were extracted. Finally,43 articles were found suitable to be considered for writing this evidence-based review. Results—Telemedicine has proven to be an important tool to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID 19 without hampering patient care,medical education and research. With relaxation of existing guidelines in most of the countries and training of healthcare professionals to introduce digital empathy it can be closer to a usual patient-provider encounter. Conclusion—Telemedicine cannot replace regular face to face patient-provider encounters, but it can be helpful, especially during the times of pandemics as happening during current circumstances. It should be included in the health care delivery infrastructure with all guidelines and legality to help the existing system during normal conditions and take over in need of time.
