Description: The field of weight management practice and research is now more than one year into the world of telemedicine after being thrown in to sink or swim during the pandemic. What have we learned? This symposium will aim to address telehealth best practices, equity considerations, the use of remote monitoring, coverage/billing practices, shared medical visits and telehealth groups, and the translation of clinical trials to telemedicine.
This session was jointly produced by The Obesity Society (TOS) and the Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM).
