Neurology Telemedicine as Virtual Learning: A Student’s Perspective

Abstract

Small rural regional medical school campuses can be challenged to provide the breadth of learning opportunities required in some specialties. Here we report our initial experience with a telemedicine stroke consultation service that addressed one of our concerns. We share an essay from the student perspective as well as those of the regional dean and remote neurology faculty and encourage others to try this technology and report their findings. The authors have no conflict of interest to report and this study was found to be exempt by the Baptist Health Madisonville Internal Review Board.
