On May 14, 2020, the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, introduced the
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 (
view guidelines), all RMPs are required to complete an online certification course on telemedicine within three years of the guidelines' release.
The relevance of these guidelines has grown immensely with the rapid expansion of teleconsultations, especially during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The
Telemedicine Society of India (TSI), a non-profit organization focused on making telehealth an integral part of affordable and universal healthcare, has been at the forefront of telemedicine training. During the COVID-19 crisis, TSI successfully trained over 3,500 doctors on the Telemedicine Practice Guidelines through its comprehensive online courses, earning outstanding feedback.
Doctorguru, a subsidiary of MedIndia helped TSI in developing and delivering the course and it continues to offer these courses, which are facilitated by its experienced faculty.
