“GW’s Department of Emergency Medicine has established a new fellowship in the field of telemedicine in hopes of expanding the University’s work in the emerging field of practicing medicine remotely.
A practice of medicine used when the doctor and patient are widely separated, telemedicine uses two-way voice and visual communication by satellite or computer. The physicians in the fellowship, according to Dr. Neal Sikka, assistant professor and director of innovative practice, will learn how to deliver care remotely, and how to develop and implement telemedicine programs, as well as research.”
