Em Pulse

In our recent episode in the future of emergency medicine, several of our guests pointed to technological advances, including telemedicine, as key pieces in the evolution of our specialty. And, thanks in large part to the pandemic, the development and implementation of telemedicine has accelerated over the past year. In this episode, Dr. Josh Elder, Medical Director of Express Care at UC Davis, shares his experience creating a virtual urgent care. We discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages for both patients and providers, and explore how this service has proved to be a safe and efficient way to meet patients where they’re at.  Have you tried telemedicine, either as a patient of provider? Share your experience with us via social media, @empulsepodcast, or through our website, ucdavisem.com. Stay tuned for next month’s episode when we explore another side of telemedicine - specialty consults for physicians! ***Please rate us and leave us a review on iTunes!
