Module 1_Telehealth_Intro
With telehealth, you can meet with your doctor or healthcare provider using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Many telehealth appointments take place through secure video calls that allow you to see and speak with your provider from home. Telehealth became especially important in recent years because it allows people to receive care safely and conveniently.
Module 2_Preparing_Appointment
Before a telehealth appointment begins, it is important to take a few minutes to prepare. Just like an in-person doctor’s visit, being prepared helps your appointment run smoothly and ensures that you get the most out of your time with your healthcare provider.
Module 3_Patient_Portals
A patient portal is a secure online website that allows you to manage your healthcare information from your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Many hospitals and healthcare providers use patient portals to help patients stay connected to their care. Through a patient portal, you can safely access important medical information without having to call the doctor’s office or visit the clinic in person. Patient portals are designed to protect your personal information and allow you to communicate directly with your healthcare provider.

What people are saying
“I was nervous about telehealth but this course made everything so simple and clear — I feel completely confident!” This course is a game changer
“I used to dread calling my doctor's office. Now I send a message through the patient portal and get a response the same day. I even saw my cardiologist by video last month — from my kitchen table. I cannot believe how much easier my healthcare has become."
Retired Librarian, Maryland
“The module on preparing for a video visit was exactly what I needed. I had tried telehealth once before and the whole thing fell apart because my camera wasn't working. This course showed me how to test everything beforehand. My next appointment went perfectly."
