DLRI Webinar Series
During the past year, DLRI has begun a series of webinars intended to help our rural physicians better cope with the new world of virtual medicine.
We have hosted webinars focused on youth mental health during Covid-19, virtual physical exams and more. Below you will find the recordings of our past webinars, as well as any other useful links related to those sessions and information about any of our upcoming webinars.

The Virtual Exam and the Power of Touch in the Virtual World
May 21, 2020
We want to help to ensure that you can maintain a high level of patient care and an enriched learning experience through your use of the virtual physical exam and how physical touch can continue to find a place in this context. During this session, we review skin and joint exams, how to observe affect and when to make the call that an in-person exam is required.
