Telementoring.

Telementoring began in the 1950s and is an advanced application of telemedicine that involves the removed guidance of a procedure where the student has no or limited experience. In the past 10 to 15 years, telemedicine has been revisited as a result of the healthcare delivery crisis, budgetary concerns, and the impact of managed care. In recent years, telementoring has had a number of successes which have led to further recent telementoring investigations and developments.
