Developing a Telemedicine Curriculum with Micro-Credentialing: Insights from the Erasmus Plus TEAM Project

Year: 2025

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: The Erasmus Plus TEAM (Telemedicine Education Advancement through Microcredentials) project aims to address gaps in telemedicine education by developing a scalable and adaptable micro-credentialing system. This system, designed to be flexible and responsive to the evolving healthcare landscape, is adaptable to the unique needs of different healthcare systems. It collaborates with academic institutions, healthcare providers, and industry stakeholders from five countries, creating a framework that enhances healthcare professionals' competencies in telemedicine. The system aligns with European Qualifications Framework (EQF) standards, offering learners modular educational opportunities ranging from 0.5 to 9 ECTS credits. This paper outlines the project's methodology and creation of didactic materials. By focusing on formal education and lifelong learning, the TEAM project seeks to modernise telemedicine training and ensure its relevance in real-world healthcare settings.
