Virtual and telemedicine  

The use of telemedicine services has been on the rise as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to increase in 2021.

The rapid expansion in scope of practice, telemedicine, and insurance reimbursement opened the door to many opportunities for integrative practitioners to make a difference. The pandemic also encouraged patients to pay more attention to their personal health and engage in preventative health practices, as it eliminated barriers and emphasized its importance in avoiding acute and chronic disease, as well as improving long-term quality of life. Increasing accessibility to and affordability of whole-person, preventative care is a huge step forward in the integrative healthcare industry.
