Excerpt
Excerpt: The U.S. military is, in fact, one of the leaders in using Internet e-mail for teleconsultations. For example, since 1996, a dermatologist employed by the U.S. Navy as a consulting specialist for various shipboard primary care physicians has used telemedicine to treat sailors aboard aircraft carriers and other vessels. The Department of Defense is also implementing Web-based dermatology programs, and a total of 16 central sites in the United States and Europe will serve as specialty care centers, with each state connected to three remote clinics.
