Telehealth Training
AFHCAN provides customer training live in our Anchorage offices, at your organization, via video teleconference and webinar as well as computer based training modules you may complete at your own pace. Most training is done with individuals or small groups to allow our trainers to personalize each training experience. Hands-on training is the most time efficient way for users to become comfortable and proficient in the use of the tConsult software and AFHCAN Telemedicine Cart.
Arrangements can also be made to train on site or via video conference.
