Telehealth Everywhere – TeleDermatology at the State Fair
10:00 am to 11:00 am PT • Hosted By Great Plains Telehealth Resource & Assistance Center
The 2026 gpTRAC Webinar Series is highlighting a variety of telehealth services in use around the upper Great Plains region. Telehealth can happen successfully in many different environments. For more than a decade, the Great Plains Telehealth Resource & Assistance Center (gpTRAC) has hosted a telehealth awareness event at the Minnesota State Fair. For one day during the fair, gpTRAC hosts a free skin screening event to allow fair-goers an introduction to telehealth and to support the importance of cancer screenings. This webinar will be a discussion with two long-time dermatology physician volunteers on why this is an important outreach event and why they set aside time to do this every year.
Webinar objectives:
1. Participants will understand the basics of teledermatology, both the advantages and challenges
2. Participants will recognize the viability of teledermatology services, including the accuracy and quality of images via telehealth technology…even at the fair
3. Participants will understand the state fair experience and why gpTRAC values supporting this effort over the past many years.
Who should attend: healthcare professionals, telehealth providers, healthcare administrators, FQHC/clinic/hospital leaders, regulators, and fair-goers.
