Title
Teaching Virtual Care in Canada
Length of Presentation
Rationale/Background
Virtual care is defined as "any interaction between patients and /or member of their circle of care, occurring remotely, using any forms of communication or information technologies, with the aim of facilitating or maximizing the quality and effectiveness of patient care." (1) Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, 4% of patient interactions across Canada were virtual. This scalable method of care delivery quickly shifted to 60%, thanks to infrastructures already in place. (2) However, educators and providers have limited training in both how to perform and teach virtual care.
Instructional Methods
This workshop aims to help bridge this gap by first conducting a needs assessment of participants through live polling, followed by discussion of the fundamentals of virtual care delivery, teaching, and evaluation using a combination of Socratic and didactic teaching methods based on learners' needs. Participants will then be separated into small breakout groups to engage in hand-on virtual care assessment and teaching methods. Clinical cases, role-play scenarios, and group discussions will be used and centred around the objectives of this workshop.
Target audience
Physicians, educators, and allied health professionals considering or currently engaging in the delivery of virtual care in Canada.
Learning Objective
1. Understand the current state of virtual care delivery and use in Canada.
2. Gain confidence in the implementation of virtual care tools in medicine.
3. Acquire skills to teach and evaluate learners delivering virtual care to patients.
