This paper explores possibilities for designers’ performance in the field of Telemedicine. It presents a pedagogical proposal for a Design Specialist Program in Telemedicine Projects. The academic structure suggested for the program is based on a learning process model conceived for integrating education, research and development. Through a trainee program grounded on practical experiences, a theoretical reflection towards the field to which the model is applied is encouraged. The proposal emerges from the collaboration between Design and Telemedicine. The pedagogical approach presented integrates the two fields, allowing the birth of a distinctive environment, which aims excellence in the production, the construction and innovation in telemedicine. To conclude, considerations concerning collaborative design, participatory design and humancentered design are presented.
