Telemedicine/Virtual Care has rapidly expanded in today’s tech savvy world where digital relationships have become as commonplace as face-to-face encounters. Quality urologic care is often inaccessible or limited in many rural communities and even in urban populations for those with limited means and/or time. Telemedicine/Virtual Care platforms are changing these paradigms.
