WHAT IS A VIRTUAL VISIT?
MUSC Psychiatry is now able to do virtual visits in place of an office visit, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. This online service is available for patients of all ages, both new and returning. This is a simple process and only requires a smartphone or other device with video and an internet connection. If you can FaceTime or Skype you can do this, too.
