Telemedicine Mission Statement
Telemedicine initiatives at the University balance the threefold objectives of clinical care, distance learning and academic activities that result in development of new distance interaction paradigms.
Telemedicine receives diverse Divisional support in each of its missions: CME office, URFMG, Library, Office of Counsel, Planning and Marketing, Contracts, Informatics, and Information systems. Representatives from each major clinical entity within URMC include members from Strong and Highland Hospitals, School of Medicine and Dentistry and the School of Nursing.
Representatives from Regional Development, Planning and Marketing, Telemedicine, Office of Counsel, and Contracts will assist chairs of departments within the University in establishing new telemedicine relationships.
