Abstract
- Background: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the formal integration of telehealth into education curricula and training programs, prompting the need to reevaluate the current landscape and inform a research agenda. We developed a survey to assess telehealth education and training curriculum, competencies, certification, and research across pediatric medical centers. Methods: Questions were derived from a previously published national survey and de novo. The survey was distributed across national pediatric professional associations. Results: In total, 32 respondents representing medical centers (86.5%) were providing telehealth education and/or training. Most were internally developed didactic (78.6%) and experiential (64.3%) curricula. Respondents who included education and/or training in telehealth research protocols and conducted telehealth research (74%) reported mandatory or optional training in tele-research. A form of certification was preferred by most organizations (>60%). Conclusion: Telehealth education and training are key factors within current and future service development, provision, and research to demonstrate competencies and positively impact patient care.
