UniDoc Health Corp. announced the appointment of Dr. Chad Burkhart, MD, CCFP to its Advisory Board with immediate effect. Dr. Burkhart has been actively involved in the emerging field of telemedicine since 2013 while serving as the Chief Medical Officer of two telemedicine companies.

His work has enabled him to reach patients in communities across Canada who lack access to primary care, and to ease the burden on local health care resources. In this capacity, he has also collaborated with physician governing bodies and provincial Ministries of Health to clarify existing policies and implement new regulation for telemedicine health care models and identified clinical integration and care opportunities in cooperation with pharmacies, long-term care facilities, indigenous groups, and industry.
