Telemedicine Education Program for Medical Students

This study evaluated a structured telemedicine education program for undergraduate medical students. Third-year medical students participated in either a structured telemedicine education program or a control condition. The education program included theoretical sessions, observation of real telemedicine consultations, simulated patient encounters, and structured feedback. Students' telemedicine knowledge was assessed before and after the study, and their telemedicine consultation skills were evaluated through a standardized simulated patient encounter. The study aimed to examine whether structured telemedicine education could improve medical students' knowledge and consultation skills.

Provision of informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Students who did not complete the pretest or posttest assessments.
