INTRODUCTION
The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed a significant shift in patient care marked by increased telemedicine use.1 Studies have described not only the perception, usage, and implementation of teledermatology but also the variation around telemedicine adoption based on physician and patient demographics.2-5 However, few studies have quantified physicians' perspectives of telemedicine especially across multiple specialties and regions of the US. This study serves as an update to prior research by examining the implementation of telemedicine among US-based physicians several years after the COVID-19 pandemic began.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A pre-validated anonymous survey was distributed to open social networking groups comprised of actively practicing US-based physicians. Categorical data was analyzed via SPSS (version 28.0.0) using chi-square based upon years in practice, practice type, specialty (surgical versus non-surgical, dermatologist versus non-dermatologist), and region of the US to assess the appropriateness of telemedicine and modalities used (eg, phone, store-and-forward [SAF], video, video with image). If the results were significant, adjusted residuals were determined. For Likert scale questions, results were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.
