BACKGROUND Due the unprecedented need for continuity in child health care during the confinement time subsequently to the Covid 19 pandemic, a high complex university hospital in the southwestern region of Colombia implemented a telemedicine program. OBJECTIVE We aim to describe the clinical experience using telemedicine for pediatric consultation and the behavior of routinary parameters evaluated during pediatric consultation METHODS A retrospective descriptive study was conducted. A total of 1.200 pediatric patients followed via telemedicine in clinical routine check-ups were included. Qualitative variables were summarized with absolute frequencies and percentages quantitative variables were presented with the measures of central tendency, and their respective measures of dispersion were represented according to a Shapiro Wilk test. RESULTS Of the 1.200 patients including boys and girls, 26% of girls and 27% of boys had some type of alteration, even though many caregivers did not give enough information about weight and height. CONCLUSIONS Our preliminary experience suggests that telemedicine provides support in the care of pediatric patients, however, it requires strategies to assess parameters measured routinely in the pediatric consultation. This study is a basis for developing further experience, strategies and research about caregivers and patient satisfaction, economic effect on families and the health system, and the role of telemedicine in pediatrics in low- and middle-income countries
