The COVID-19 pandemic altered the landscape of the way to do health care. Now many services are available via telehealth, and as a result many health care facilities are incorporating telehealth into their regular services. The following are helpful resources for preceptors in the transition to and use of telehealth.
Teleprecepting Resources

- The Center for Telehealth, Innovation, Education and Research (C-TIER) provides health professions students, faculty and providers with the knowledge, skills and abilities to become actively involved in telehealth innovations, educational delivery, research and health care delivery. It offers a repository of links to resources and guides for training students using telehealth, including telehealth training videos, a teleprecepting checklist (from UCSF), and sample communications.
