2. The AU-UAB Telehealth Network Time: 10:30-11:30am This roundtable will introduce participants to the Telehealth Network formed in May 2020 by Auburn University and the University of Alabama Birmingham faculty and administrators. The network includes a broad collective of educators, clinicians and scientists ranging from those interested in learning more about telehealth to those actively engaged in diverse telehealth projects. Significance of telehealth has grown as need for innovation along with new technologies for extending the reach of health-related research and services have expanded.
