Telemedicine is catching on among physicians


new analysis finds that more physicians are gaining telemedicine skills, an industry that’s expected to grow to over $130 billion by 2025. Here’s more from the report: 
  • Skilled physicians: A little over 15% of physicians reported having telemedicine skills in 2016, but that figure has grown to nearly 25% in the past two years. 
  • Interest by age and sex: Roughly a quarter of physicians across most age groups expressed interest in telemedicine jobs. And female physicians were more likely to express an interest than their male counterparts.
  • Interest by specialty: Those in radiology, psychiatry, and internal medicine were most likely to express an interest in telemedicine, while anesthesiologists and general and orthopedic surgeons were least likely to do so.
