Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
The figure shows each group of participants in the survey (attending physicians, resident and fellows, interns, and medical students) and their survey responses to multiple survey questions. Each set of questions was tailored to their level of training. For example, attending physicians answered questions focused on telehealth whereas residents, interns, and students answered questions focused on virtual education. Answer choices were recorded on a Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Each answer choice is represented by a separate color as represented in the figure. COVID‐19 = coronavirus disease 2019.

Figure 2
Attending physician use of telehealth before and after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic by practice setting. Left column (A) represents the physician responses for their telehealth use before the COVID‐19 pandemic. Right column (B) represents the responses of attending physicians following the outbreak. Each row represents a practice setting, labeled to the left of the figure. The response of “Yes” indicating the use of telehealth is represented in color blue. The response of “No” representing no use of telehealth is represented in the color red. Percentages represent the percentage of responses for each practice setting for before and after the pandemic.

Figure 3
Attending physician responses to survey question “I believe telehealth will play a stronger role in medicine after the COVID‐19 pandemic.” Responses are separated by attending physician practice settings. Responses per practice setting are shown as percentages of each answer to the question ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. COVID‐19 = coronavirus disease 2019.
