N2 - Doctors need to acquire telehealth consultation skills to thrive in the increasingly pressurized health system of delivering high-quality, high-volume health care with a shrinking health care workforce. Telehealth consultations require the same degree of thoroughness and careful clinical judgment as face-to-face consultations. The distinct differences between telehealth and face-to-face consultations warrant training in telehealth, which should be incorporated into core curricula of medical schools and continuing medical education. We describe competency-based training for telehealth piloted with medical residents. The use of competency-based training for telehealth operationalized as an entrustable professional activity will facilitate high-quality, safe, and effective telehealth consultations.
