What are good forums for meeting local physicians?
If the remote setting is a rural hospital in a small town, one is likely to find that most, if not all, of the physicians attend periodic medical/clinical staff meetings. This is an excellent opportunity to introduce not only telemedicine, but also the specialty providers via telemedicine. Another method is to offer a Continuing Medical Education (CME) session that focuses on telemedicine. Providers can attend the session, learn about telemedicine and earn required credits to maintain their license at the same time. A third approach is to set up an introductory session for your consultation service in conjunction with a local professional meeting that many providers normally attend.
