The usage of immersive technology allows for more students to be virtually present for clinical encounter simultaneously and allows for supervising physicians to be present from remote locations.   Using a hands-free, voice activated, headset capable of bridging the gap between physical and virtual care, healthcare providers, educators, and learners can overcome the barrier of time, distance, and training to deliver all the benefits of an in-person experience through the convenience of a remote environment. These more contemporary augmented reality devices offer stronger compliance with privacy and security protocols that are required by the clinical affiliated partners, using high encrypted Internet and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards  Recently due to restrictions put in place because of the Covid-19 pandemic students have not been able to participate in clinical activities, engaging with patients and medical professionals. Here we have devised a Tele – Ambulatory Health Care Experience (Tele-AHCE) model that allows students the opportunity to remotely interact with actual patients at one of our partner clinics. Participation in this course not only provides students the opportunity to cultivate interviewing and physical exam skills but also allows students to observe a multi-professional team approach to patient management.
