Primary care is well positioned to teach telehealth because of the breadth of medical conditions treated. It is crucial that learners and medical educators are prepared for learning and educating in this growing paradigm. This article offers an organized approach to education in telehealth that includes preparation, observation, assessment, and feedback.
