Telecomunicação Interativa faz parte
do novo currículo de ensino médico da Inglaterra
As faculdades de Medicina da Inglaterra incluíram a Telecomunicação
Interativa em sua grade curricular. De acordo com a revista
Telemedicine and e-Health, da Associação Americana de Telemedicina
(ATA - American Telemedicine Association), os novos médicos
ingleses precisarão demonstrar competências vinculadas à
Telemedicina. Eles deverão estar aptos a usar os modernos
sistemas de telecomunicações interativas, compreendendo
e aplicando os princípios de gerenciamento de informações
médicas e dados clínicos. Confira a íntegra da nota publicada

New British Curriculum for Physician
Training Requires Competence in Interactive Telecommunications
Britain’s new national curriculum for physician education
will require training in the use of modern interactive telecommunications
(IT) systems. The 2-year “foundation programme syllabus”,
as the training curriculum is called, requires new physicians
to show competence in communication and consultation skills,
patient safety, and teamwork, as well as in the more traditional
components of medical training.
Although it covers specific IT competencies under the
general rubric of “appropriate IT skills”, the new curriculum
specifies a number of clinical areas in which physicians
will be expected to show competence, including the requirement
that physicians understand and apply “the principles of
medical data and information management and maintenance
of updated, accurate, legible, and attributable clinical
records”, use of the British National Formulary, and computer-based
prescribing.
Professor Sir Alan Craft, Chairman of the Academy of
Royal Medical Colleges, calls the new curriculum an important
accomplishment, pointing out that it heralds a new era in
medical training and education in the United Kingdom and
that physicians who pass through the system will be competent
to practice in Britain’s modern healthcare service.
