Telehealth Research Community

The Telehealth Research Community (TRC) was created to promote collaboration across campus for all individuals interested in telehealth.

What is the Telehealth Research Community (TRC):

  • We are researchers and practitioners who are interested in understanding how Telehealth can help foster better health outcomes.
  • Our mission is to engage students, staff, faculty, and the local community in the TRC to provide an opportunity to expand and promote the usefulness and accessibility of telehealth as a tool and resource at MU and the surrounding community. 
  • Our initial goal is that participants connect around various opportunities created by the TRC including but not limited to communication about future use and direction of this innovative technology in delivering high-quality health services.
