Table 2. Areas for Programmatic Improvement in Telehealth (TH) Training .

Qualitative Themes Specific Details
Integrate TH Training into Other Rotations Allow resident to use TH during the EMS rotation; use TH in the urgent care setting; explore wilderness medicine applications
Create More Formalized Training Integrate more lectures, didactics, best practices into the rotation; share more resources with residents; more detailed approach on how to incorporate TH into direct patient care
Leverage the Initial Encounter Find ways to allow the resident to be the first provider; if possible, residents could potentially follow-up on their own patients and procedures (i.e., lacerations) through TH; have resident make decisions via TH during the undifferentiated stage of patient presentation
Maximize Down-Time Secondary to patient cancellations, there was idle time; find ways to maximize the educational value of this down-time during the TH rotation
