Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the rapid adoption of telemedicine in most medical practices. This series of articles address issues that are often not well considered, such as the types of technological platforms available, the effects of telemedicine on staffing, space requirements, and the financial impact of remote visits. In addition, the limits of telemedicine compared to in-office visits are discussed, as well as the effects on trainees and possibilities for the future.

Keywords: Telemedicine; remote visits; telephone visits; video exams.
