Can telehealth provide an equally insightful physical assessment as a clinic visit? How complicated is it to perform a virtual head and neck assessment? In this course, we’ll be focusing on protocols and practical tips to conduct a reliable head and neck assessment remotely. We’ll build on the clinical knowledge you already possess and give helpful ways to modify your practice to suit the constraints of a telehealth video visit. This course will cover many of the typical physical assessments you would want to perform to diagnose complaints regarding the head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat (HEENT). We’ll provide patient management strategies and give you tools to consistently evaluate many HEENT complaints via telehealth. No matter how experienced you are in your practice or your specialty, this course contains pearls and pitfalls of telehealth virtual exams that can help improve your patients’ access to high-quality care. No previous telehealth or specific technology experience is required, though familiarity with physical assessments is assumed.
