Physicians have historically trained only to deal with patients in person, but that’s no longer practical in today’s health care landscape. What you’re experiencing is what many physicians and providers have been experiencing during the pandemic. We used to teach proper bedside manner it’s now equally important for physicians to learn “web-side” manner.
To date, we’ve trained over 200 medical students at Weill Cornell through our course. This course is led by three faculty from our department who have experience in medical education, but who are also clinical providers in telemedicine.
Then, as part of this new clerkship, students take a 4-hour course in advanced communication skills and physical diagnosis via a video-based platform. Prior to starting their clinical years, the medical students receive an introduction to telemedicine as part of their transition to the clerkships course. The leadership of our clerkship partnered with our telemedicine faculty to deliver the core knowledge in telemedicine skills during the rotation. Weill Cornell Medicine, the medical college, has about 110 students each year, and emergency medicine clerkship in their major clinical year. Here at Weill Cornell Medicine, our emergency medicine physicians, our faculty members, alongside the Center for Virtual Care, we’ve been teaching telemedicine to Weill Cornell medical students since January of 2019.
