Participation in Listening Session on the Digital Divide with Vice President Kamala Harris.
May 24, 2021 — The Office of the Vice President invited me to participate as a panelist in a Listening Session on the Digital Divide hosted by Vice President Kamala Harris. The participants of the panel were from different industry sectors, and I discussed the digital divide from the perspective of medicine.
During my turn, I explained how limited access to broadband internet in rural and remote areas is a barrier to adequate access to health care services, and a barrier to the implementation of telemedicine services.
This was an amazing opportunity to share my expertise with the community, and to meet the Vice President. Check out the video!
