Telemedicine Practice Guidelines (TPG) to ensure standardized and regulated telemedicine services nationwide. These guidelines mandate that all registered medical practitioners (RMPs) intending to provide online consultations must be familiar with telemedicine's procedures, limitations, and best practices.
According to TPG 1.3.3 (

The relevance of these guidelines has grown immensely with the rapid expansion of teleconsultations, especially during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The course consists of theory, harvesting videos, questions which also includes an online test. We have to get 80 percent marks to pass. Everything is related to Heart Lung Harvest only. For beginners it is very useful. Four continuous hours to be spent for the course. If failure we have to do redo.
For a new candidate who does not have much experience in the field of transplants I will rank the course an 8 or 9 out of 10.
