MAUI, HAWAII — Some of the long-standing obstacles that hinder dermatologists’ ability to practice telemedicine are finally breaking down, according to a speaker here at Maui Derm for Dermatologists 2020.

“Right now, most teledermatology is being done in academic centers,” Neal Bhatia, MD, a dermatologist in private practice in California, said. “The second most common place is the [Veterans Affairs] health system. But I'm predicting the future: every one of you will have at least some experience with telemedicine.”
