While telehealth principles have been applied to patient care for years, it has come to the forefront recently. Your interviewers want their future urology residents to have a positive outlook on telehealth and a vision for where it will go in their future down the road as physicians in practice.

"I believe telemedicine in urology has its place, but it's not for every patient care situation. I know that many large institutions use telehealth visits for post-operative follow-up appointments and even for rounding on nursing home patients, which would typically require travel to see patients. I'm excited to learn more about how telemedicine is being incorporated into general urology practices and how your residents are currently learning telemedicine techniques at your institution."

Although telehealth has limitations, including the inability to do a physical exam and obtain vitals on a patient, it is a way to reach out to patients who otherwise would not be able to get care when needed. For this reason, any future physician must embrace telehealth platforms while recognizing that they are not ideal. Your answer should provide the pros and cons of telehealth as it relates to the urologic care of patients, along with any direct examples of its use you are familiar with.
