Abstract

Currently, one of the prominent applications of information technology in medicine is telemedicine.
Objectives: The study aims to summarize the modalities and results of applying telemedicine in
medical training and capacity building of health workers.
Methods: We searched for telemedicine and medical education keywords on the Pubmed database.
Results: 22 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies describe telemedicine apps that use
phones, apps. For most of the study, medical students examined and cared for patients remotely
while improving their telemedicine skills to interpret health exam results.
Conclusion: Previous studies show that all technological approaches enhance knowledge, skills and
attitudes, and pure e-learning is comparable to face-to-face training.
