Abstract

Telemedicine has various utilities including Tele education through telepresence technology. While the resident undergoing medical training it is imperative to guide him throughout his training period, this may not be possible practically. Through telepresence technology a teacher presence can be felt anytime.

Even in situation where consultant is out of the station, he/she can guide the resident through this technology. With consultant, other residents who are interested in the procedure can also participate and learn simultaneously.
