Telemedicine offers a lot of promise for both physicians and patients. This class explores how Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine can be safely and legally practiced in the realms of COVID-19 and beyond.

Most states now have laws regulating the practice of telemedicine. The laws only get more complicated and more uncertain when telemedicine is practiced across state lines.  The information that will be shared in this webinar is based on experience with Cleveland Clinic TCHM virtual visits and will introduce 3 simple steps to switch your practice to telemedicine.
