When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

How can telehealth expand healthcare access to our patients? What are ways we can leverage telehealth to better help our patients? In this short introductory course, you’ll receive an introduction to telehealth basics geared toward any healthcare professional or student who has patient-facing clinical responsibilities.

We’ll first begin with how you can set yourself, your team, and your patients up for success by using practical tips to ensure success before, during, and after telehealth video appointments. We’ll then discuss general telehealth assessments, focusing on how to work with your patients to assess their vital signs and cognitive function as well as how you can complete a virtual environmental assessment. No matter what speciality or stage you’re at in your healthcare professional journey, this course will help you develop practical skills to be applied to your practice. No previous telehealth or specific technology experience is required.
