Telehealth Technology
Provides Patient Continuity Care
While Residents Train in Rural Communities

Randy
Card, M.D., at Family Care Doctors in Marquette
communicates with Meghana Kasetty, M.D., a second-year resident, doing
a rotation off
site while maintaining continuity with her patients at Family Care
Doctors.
At MGH we are proud of our rural training. Over 90% of our graduates are practicing
in federally designated rural areas. To improve resident rural experience
we offer rural months at a variety of rural communities. The rural months
are enhanced by the resident using telecommunication technology to see
continuity patients. The resident stays in the rural community and connect
with patients that are at our family practice clinic in Marquette. Utilizing
the telehealth technology allows the resident to decrease travel between
sites, maintains continuity care, and increases resident and preceptor
comfort with the latest technology in patient care.
