Join Tamir Aldad, a physician executive. We’ll explore the rapid growth of telehealth, the impact of venture capital investments, and the concerning trend of overprescription of medications like Adderall and benzodiazepines. Discover the risks associated with this phenomenon and the steps needed to prioritize patient well-being over profit-driven motives in the telemental health care industry.

Tamir Aldad is a physician executive.

He discusses the KevinMD article, “Venture-backed telemental health care companies are creating a new opioid epidemic.”

Our presenting sponsor is Nuance, a Microsoft company.
