The Rural Telementoring Training Center program provides funding to train academic medical centers and other centers of excellence in the creation of technology-enabled telementoring learning programs. Programs should assist in the development of strategies focused on improving the retention of rural providers and enhancing health care outcomes for rural patients with complex conditions in order to improve health care in rural areas.

• Identifying opportunities and promoting best practices for telementoring programs to increase their viability in rural areas by identifying successful models and administrative support strategies as well as disseminating information about telementoring programs
• Identifying opportunities and promoting best practices for rural health telementoring programs to evaluate their impacts and improve their services and strategies over time
• Providing academic medical centers and centers of excellence with tools for collecting and interpreting applicable data to support evaluation of rural health telementoring services
• Disseminating project materials or resources that result from any meetings, training activities or workgroups conducted during the period of the cooperative agreement and ensuring free public access to resources developed under the cooperative agreement
