virtual visit
Online doctor meeting
A virtual visit is a meeting conducted through video or audio technology rather than in person, most commonly a medical appointment with a doctor via telehealth platform.
The term extends to other remote consultations—with lawyers, therapists, or advisors: I scheduled a virtual visit with my dermatologist.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual visits became standard practice across many fields.
