Sumario:The COVID-19 pandemic greatly limited face-to-face patient care in many health care settings which negatively impacted clinical education for student clinicians. The urgent need for the delivery of telemedicine services highlighted the deficiency in ambulatory care telehealth services and telemedicine education in many medical, nurse practitioner, and physician assistant programs. The aim of this pilot study was to improve student clinicians' outpatient telemedicine competences and interprofessional practice using simulation. The authors concluded telehealth skills and interprofessional collaboration were improved, providing faculty with an active learning tool to increase students' skills and comfort in telemedicine delivery.
