Abstract
A fourth year medical school student discusses telehealth's utility during a viral pandemic, but also its potential as a powerful tool for expanding access to care and promoting health equity over the coming years. The limitations of telehealth, including the challenge of performing a physical exam and maintaining emotional connection across physical distance, are further challenged by inconsistent availability of Broadband internet, as well as a lack of standardized reimbursement procedures for telehealth visits.Series/Report no.
