Development of Digital Competence of Portable Telemedicine Complex Operators for Optimizing the Provision of Medical Care

A complex of six advanced training programs for the management of a portable telemedicine complex was developed on the basis of Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education "North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov", the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. A pilot training program "Operator of a portable telemedicine complex" was implemented for persons with a full-time graduate degree. 17 trainees took part in the program.
