Telemedicine promises to improve access to specialty care for citizens of rural states like South Carolina by bringing the care to the patient. This video profiles three of the many telemedicine programs offered by the Medical University of South Carolina: a telestroke program (Dr. Robert J. Adams, REACH MUSC), a maternal fetal telemedicine program (Dr. Donna Johnson), and the Virtual TeleConsult Clinic (VTCC, Dr. Samir Fakhry). A school-based pediatric specialty clinic is profiled as part of the VTCC.
