Abstract

This paper describes the international experiences on the Telemedicine area through the international meetings and conference since 2001, until 2003, from the American Teleme dicine Association-ATA and the International Society for Telemedicine-ISfT.

Latin America and Colombia with the Colombian Telemedicine Center, had been participated with experiences in telemedicine medical services, v.gr. teleophtalmology, tele-dermatology, teleotolaryngology, virtual surgical telesimulation and distance learning strategies.
