Results of the decade of introduction of the remote telemedicine consulting and lecturing technologies based on videoconference communications equipment prompt us to select further ways of developing the medical services rendered to the people in Russia. Based on the experience of cooperation with regional clinics, all participants of telemedicine project were once again convinced that various medical institutes of this country may be fairly diverse in terms of the nature and quality of medical training, which may hinder interaction between the consultant and the pecialist receiving the consulting services on the initial stage of their cooperation. Organization of first telemedicine lectures became the basic instrument for liquidation of the abovementioned discrepancies. While lecturing on the latest achievements in diagnostics of any specific ailment, the consultant introduced regional specialists in the sphere of his/her scientific interests, apprising them of the terms and definitions adopted in his/her scientific center, techniques and the emerging practices for examination of the patient and justification of the choice of treatment methods (surgery, therapy, combined treatment). However, a new problem emerges here.
