The CO-TEACH curriculum aims to equip interprofessional student groups with the ability to de ne telehealth and its role in patient care, develop clinical skills in the delivery of patient care through telehealth, identify key considerations in access and equity in the use of telehealth, and appreciate the importance of interprofessional collaboration and teamwork in providing virtual care
The CO-TEACH curriculum consists of ve 2-hour sessions and is delivered over an eight-week period via Zoom The curriculum includes a developmental evaluation framework for the design and implementation of the curriculum, a literature review to identify the evolving evidence around telehealth use, delivery, and education, and a team-based, telehealth, patient-simulation experience to assess learner achievement of course objectives around interprofessional teamwork, communication, and clinical care via telehealth.
