The UCSD School of Medicine recently received a $1-million grant to support the formation of an on-campus telemedicine learning center. Telemedicine, the diagnosis and treatment of patients in remote areas using real-time video conferencing or satellite technology, has become an increasingly prevalent medical practice.
The California Telemedicine and eHealth Center, which awarded the grant and also funded the development of a learning center at UC Davis in 1999, has focused its strategic efforts for the next five years on building telemedicine and e-health competency among providers and É improving access to quality care, according to its Web site.
The main purpose of the new Southern California Telemedicine Learning Center will be to train UCSD-based doctors to use telemedicine technology that will bolster communication with physicians in rural communities. The leadership of the center will be shared by two co-directors: Maria Savoia, vice dean of medical education and professor of medicine at UCSD, and Lawrence Friedman, professor and director of ambulatory care at UCSD Medical Center.
