Innovative Projects: A Unique Approach to Telehealth Education.

ABSTRACT: During the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth utilization grew astronomically, encouraging more institutions of higher education to become innovative and proactive in preparing health care providers to deliver high-quality telehealth care. Telehealth can be creatively implemented throughout health care curricula given the appropriate guidance and tools. This article speaks to the development of student telehealth projects as part of the work of a national taskforce funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration and charged with the development of a telehealth toolkit. Proposed telehealth projects allow students to take the lead in their innovative learning and allow faculty to facilitate project-based evidence-based pedagogy.
