"Telemedicine has proven to be a viable solution in addressing the health care needs of underserved populations. Although telecommunications and information technology have the power to overcome many disparities in health care, they are not being used to their full potential. Our goal is to provide an education center where practitioners, administrators, managers, and telemedicine coordinators can develop the skills and knowledge needed to enhance the quality of health care in their communities."

The award winning UC Davis Telehealth Program received a million dollar grant from The California Endowment and the California Telemedicine & eHealth Center to provide telemedicine training to rural and urban organizations throughout California. Since November 1999, the Center for Health & Technology (CHT) has provided telemedicine courses for more than 1,400 health care professionals, from CEO's and medical doctors to technicians and clinic coordinators. The hands-on, multidisciplinary training approach is what makes the CHT's telemedicine educational courses such a highly successful and sought after program.
