We review recent findings on the use of telepsychiatry while investigating medical students' perceptions and willingness to use it for their mental health needs. We explore the impact of COVID-19 on medical school curriculums. We also investigate current education in medical schools surrounding telemedicine.
Medical students experience symptoms of anxiety at a greater rate than the general population. Major barriers to help-seeking behaviors are the refusal to seek treatment due to fear of incurring negative views from supervising faculty, time constraints, and the cost of counseling services. Those who do use telemental health resources have positive views and believe that it is an effective tool. Medical students are willing to use telepsychiatry for their personal mental health needs and recognize its value as a treatment modality that will be useful for their future patients. The telemedicine field is evolving but many medical school curriculums do not include education on telemedicine.
我们回顾了最近关于远程精神病学应用的研究结果，同时调查医学生对其心理健康需求的看法和使用意愿。我们探讨了 COVID-19 对医学院课程的影响。我们还调查了目前医学院在远程医疗方面的教育情况。
医学生出现焦虑症状的比例高于普通人群。寻求帮助的主要障碍是由于担心引起监督教师的负面看法、时间限制和咨询服务费用而拒绝治疗。那些确实使用远程心理健康资源的人对其持积极看法，并认为这是一种有效的工具。医学生愿意将远程精神病学用于个人的心理健康需求，并认识到它作为一种治疗方式的价值，这对他们未来的患者将是有用的。远程医疗领域正在发展，但许多医学院校的课程都不包括远程医疗教育。
