    abstract = {Telemedicine is an evolving mode of healthcare delivery that enables
remote consultation using communication technology. With its growing
role, especially post‐pandemic, it's crucial that future physicians are
well‐informed and carry a positive outlook towards its use. To assess the
knowledge and attitude toward telemedicine among medical interns of
private medical college. A cross‐sectional study was conducted among
190 medical interns using a validated, semi‐structured questionnaire with
15 questions‐7 assessing knowledge and 8 evaluating attitude. Data was
collected via questionnaire and analyzed using SSPS version 20.0. Out of
190 interns, 58.4% demonstrated moderate knowledge (scores 4–5),
while 21.1% showed good knowledge (scores 6‐7). About 90% agreed that
telemedicine improves healthcare accessibility, but only 83.2% knew that
informed consent is mandatory. Positive attitude was found in 65.3% of
participants, while 34.7% were either neutral or had concerns about
reliability and ethics. Interns displayed moderate knowledge and a
generally positive attitude toward telemedicine. However, critical gaps
remain regarding legal and procedural understanding. Structured
educational integration is recommended to improve preparedness.}
