There has been a rise of virtual health solutions in Malaysia post-pandemic, however, there has not been much uptake and adoption of the same, currently in Malaysia. The main reason for this would be because of the many considerations when entering the new world of telehealth, one may have difficulties in even determining where to start.
As Malaysia’s first ever standalone Fundamentals of Telehealth micro-credential course, our aim is to aid our nation’s healthcare practitioners by upskilling healthcare and providing them with the necessary principles and appropriate practices of telehealth.
This well-manicured syllabus is developed by healthcare practitioners for healthcare practitioners, with modules adequately covering regulations, technology adoption, implementation strategies and basic communication patterns online, to instill confidence of healthcare practitioners within the field of telehealth delivery and use in Malaysia.
