Beyond the Emergency. Telecare for Non-Communicable Diseases through Simulation Techniques

The Beyond the Emergency. Telecare for Non-Communicable Diseases through Simulation Techniques- BeEmTel project was created as a response to the pandemic. Covid-19 revealed weaknesses in the healt...

Doctors, nurses, psychologists, and psychiatrists will increasingly require multidisciplinary training that includes digital skills and more specific practical and clinical competencies. However, there is no widespread availability of specific courses and exams on the characteristics of telecare at the European level, which, in practice, is not taught during the ordinary academic degree course in medicine or nursing. Specialised training, when possible, is filled in later in a phase of working life that is already professionalized. This approach not only provides valuable training but also has the potential to significantly reduce healthcare costs and improve patient access to care. The BeEmTel Partnership strongly believes that by integrating telemedicine into degree curricula, medical schools can enhance learners' education by equipping them with essential competencies for patient care. This approach not only provides valuable training but also has the potential to significantly reduce healthcare costs and improve patient access to care. The pilot e-course proposed by the BeEmTel project seeks to fill this serious and educational gap.
