Dear WPATH Community:

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, an increasing number of healthcare professionals, including many of our WPATH colleagues, are utilizing telehealth to reach their clients. For some, this is commonplace, but for many others its a new platform to interact with and treat their patient population.

WPATH volunteers worldwide will be creating short videos, the first of which have just been uploaded, on how they use telehealth in their practice, which we are hoping will assist all of us in this ever-changing climate. We are expecting more videos daily and will be uploading those as they are received. We will also be scheduling colleague-to-colleague discussion groups with some of these volunteers, offering an opportunity for interactive sharing on the topic.

To access these videos and resources, please visit the WPATH website at: wpath.org/gei/telehealth-covid-19

Thank you to all those who contributed to this project, and to all our WPATH colleagues working on the frontlines during this difficult time.
