Stanford Technology Access Resource Team: A Primary Care Effort to Bridge the Telehealth Divide

Video visits have been invaluable during the COVID pandemic for patients and providers and will continue to serve as a vital connection between patients and their care team beyond COVID-19. However, many patients cannot access this resource due to challenges with technology. This course will give students an opportunity to explore concepts in communication, community-building, design thinking, and team-based patient care while providing a service that will connect vulnerable patients and their caregivers to health care providers through video visits. This asynchronous course consists of recorded didactic sessions and opportunities for undergraduates and graduate students to interact with patients at Stanford and in the community through our community partners. Please note that regular use of the phone and internet are required and may not be the best option for those who are residing out of the country. MD Students should enroll in FAMMED 280.
