"Telehealth and virtual visits, education, and follow-up have rapidly become a lot more accepted, and I for one have embraced it and made it a complete part of my practice […] Now insurance companies have realized the value of telehealth, both from a phone call and also a virtual visit, so it’s really here to stay.”

AMO Preceptor and Program Director, Harvard Plastic Surgery Residency

“Being an aspiring plastic and reconstructive surgeon, rotating virtually was an amazing experience. [My preceptor] was always available to answer questions, share his experiences, and engage with us in clinical case-based group discussions. He is also a great mentor and supporter. I'm definitely more confident with my knowledge in plastic surgery now!”

“The experience was more than we could expect from a telerotation. It was everything we would do on a hands-on rotation. The doctor is an excellent pediatrician. She taught us topics that are expected out of a pediatric resident in the U.S., which is not usually taught before starting residency.”
