A rural doctor's telehealth training program during the COVID-19 pandemic

In an environment where government is asking whether remote consultations are appropriate and clinically effective, these findings provide guidance from a professional group of experienced rural practitioners.PMID:38296265 | DOI:10.22605/RRH8032
