Volunteering for Remote Area Medical

I am so appreciative of the nursing professors at Delhi who taught us how to navigate technology. By being comfortable with the use of video mediums, we have been able to teach our staff how to conduct tele-medicine appointments and reduce their stress and resistance to accepting this new way of treating our patients. I am forever grateful.
