CERMUSA and Rural Health Precepting:

• The design of the clinic's telemedicine prototype includes a dermascope, otoscope, document camera, VCR, and a computer

Consulting• In situations where a

physician cannot be on site, local telecommunications provide access to diverse sites with the ability to relay images via Internet2 for expert review

The Research Channelwww.researchchannel.org

Goal: to use program content creation and manipulation processes as testing medium for analog and digital broadcast and on-demand multimedia offerings, thus providing an unusual opportunity to experiment with new methods of distribution and interaction on a global basis.

Eastern Orthopaedic Research Network (EastORN) Goal to enable lifelong

learning for orthopedic surgeons

Requires high speed networks for real time streaming of live surgeries

Network as a teaching aid
