telepractice
Distance professional services
Telepractice is the delivery of professional services remotely, typically through video conferencing or other digital communication.
The term appears most often in healthcare and education—speech therapists, psychologists, and other practitioners offering sessions online rather than in person: She switched to telepractice during the pandemic.
Also called telehealth or telemedicine in medical contexts.
