Paper Abstract:
|
The task for the nearest future is to expand the use of telemedicine technologies by physicians in developing regions and countries. Practice of the first years of development of our telemedicine project Moscow Russian Regions (1998 -2000) prompted us to seriously consider the issue of staffing the regional telemedicine centers. The biggest problem was that technical experts capable of servicing videoconference systems lacked expertise for the solution of specific medical problems, whereas physicians obviously lacked technical background for operating the complex electronic devices adequately. In the long run, our search for the optimum method of training of specialists for such high-tech sphere as telemedicine lead us to organize the annual International School Modern Aspects of Telemedicine. The article gives basic guidelines for solving problems via International School and its unique curriculum made by Russian Association for Telemedicine. The XXIV issue of personnel trained for the regional telemedicine centers within framework of the Russian Telemedicine Association educational project took place in late May 2015. For 15 years, we have trained 924 specialists for telemedicine centers of Russia and the CIS. So far we have no data on similar schools somewhere in the world. |
