Tele-practice in the Post-pandemic Era
Posted On: July 21, 2023
The emergence of tele- and virtual practice has remained a constant from the initial days of the COVID-19 pandemic to the present. Online-based healthcare services were soon cemented as an integral component of the healthcare world, due to necessity and the preferences of both practitioners and their patients. This session will focus on the issues in this growing area, and will answer questions such as “where can you practice?” and “do you need to be registered?”, or “when can you treat virtually and when must an in-person appointment be required?”
