Rural Telementoring Training Center Webinar
October 1, 2024
Zoom passcode: 3sL!+S#6
Description
People living in rural and remote areas face persistent and systemic healthcare challenges, including hospital and clinic closures, geographic isolation, workforce shortages, economic & demographic shifts, high burdens of chronic disease, and high rates of traumatic injuries. Where there is a gap in healthcare access or quality, there is an opportunity to share resources and build bridges that improve health. The Rural Telementoring Training Center (RTTC) provides free training, tools, and technical assistance to support implementing and evaluating new and current telementoring programs for rural health workers. Telementoring can improve rural health by building local capacity, reducing professional isolation, improving access to care, and sharing best practices. It can transform training and education through various uses: clinical knowledge & task shifting, workforce development & training, rapid implementation, clinic management, & operation support, and professional development activities.
