COVID-19 has altered clinical clerkships for medical students, providing an opportunity for telehealth with medical students to take center stage in the age of technology. This research brief demonstrates why and how to incorporate medical students into telehealth. For the purposes of clinical students, telehealth is a better educational alternative to in-person patient care than online modules. We performed a successful outpatient family medicine telehealth pilot program at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) that is currently being scaled up to other clerkships. This pilot was very limited in scope, but serves as a scalable model for future telehealth programs and curricula incorporating medical students.
新冠疫情改变了医学生的临床实习安排，为远程医疗创造了契机，让医学生在科技时代成为主角。本研究简报阐述了将医学生纳入远程医疗的原因及方式。对于临床医学生而言，相较于在线课程模块，远程医疗是比面对面诊疗更好的教育方式。我们在南卡罗来纳医科大学（MUSC）成功开展了一项门诊家庭医学远程医疗试点项目，目前该项目正推广至其他实习课程。该试点规模有限，但可为未来纳入医学生的远程医疗项目和课程提供可扩展模式。
