The telemedicine consultation

The consultation is held in a room equipped with a monitor, a camera and medical devices.

  • A nurse will do a health assessment and review your list of medications and allergies, and send the information to the specialist.
  • The nurse will leave the room if you prefer to be alone with the specialist. She may also help with the translation of medical terms to English or French if needed.
  • A family member or a loved one may accompany you during the visit, depending on the COVID-19 situation.
