Session overview

During this webinar Varsha Vimalananda will share:

• Data on the benefits and limitations of using telehealth (video and audio-only encounters) for outpatient endocrine care.
• How to determine when telehealth may be appropriate and effective for a specific visit, based on guidance from US colleagues at The Endocrine Society.
