Although Vermont started using telemedicine in 1968, the current network was implemented in 1992. It is also used for EMS training conferences, managed care meetings, and administrative meetings. The program also provides telemedicine demonstrations to other countries, such as Sweden, Saudi Arabia, and Hong Kong. These courses are sent from the Level 1 Trauma Center to four rural sites, and are accredited for CME credits.
