COVID-19 has transformed the way we practice Medicine. Telemedicine, though in existence for the last 40 years, has not achieved traction until this historical pandemic. Suddenly, payers, providers, and patients are paying attention! COVID-19 has forced us to embrace this technology to protect healthcare workers and patients from transmitting and spreading the virus while managing the needs of patients. 

COVID-19 may be here to stay and while waiting for effective treatment and vaccine, it is incumbent on us to continue exploring ways we can deliver medicine safely and compassionately.
