Training Residents for the Future: A Virtual Care Rotation for Emergency Medicine.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Virtual care (VC) is increasingly becoming a part of emergency medicine (EM) physician workflows, yet no formal digital health curricula exist within Canadian EM training programs. The objective was to design and pilot a VC elective rotation for EM residents to help address this gap and better prepare them for future VC practice.

Methods

The current work describes the design and implementation of a 4-week VC elective rotation for EM residents. The rotation consisted of VC shifts, medical transport shifts, one-on-one discussions with various stakeholders, weekly thematic articles, and a final project deliverable.

Results

The rotation was well received by all stakeholders, and the quality of feedback and one-on-one teaching were highlighted as strengths. Futu
