The use of telehealth was broadly expanded throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure uninterrupted care for patients, including those with chronic conditions.

As we approach the end of the PHE, effective May 11, 2023, some of these flexibilities will expire in the months to come.

The AMA’s Telehealth Immersion Program is designed to guide physicians, practices, and health systems in optimizing and sustaining telehealth at their organizations through a series of webinars, interactive peer-to-peer learning sessions, virtual discussions, bootcamps and resources on-demand.
