Abstract

 Telemedicine includes the use of information and communication technology for education in the health sector, tele­education. Tele­education can be defined as “education in which students receive instruction over the Internet, from a video, etc., instead of going to school.” Also known as E­learning, it comprises all forms of electronically supported learning and teaching. Content is delivered via the Internet, intranet/extranet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD­ROM. It can be self­paced or instructor­led and includes media in the form of text, image, animation, streaming video and audio. Tele­education has the potential to provide access to education both formal and continuing medical education.  We present our experience of tele education in a tertiary healthcare.

Keywords: Tele Medicine; Tele Education; Video Conferencing.
