NOTES FROM THE 2020 VIRTUAL SIG

1. The pros and cons of the transition visit done as a telemedicine visit including:
   a. The high rate of connecting with adolescents and young adults by telemedicine vs in person visits.
   b. Increased willingness to discuss transition preparation in essence as disaster preparedness and in the face of possibly having to go to the ER alone and not knowing the medical information needed
   c. Problems of privacy when having a telemedicine visit

2. Most are not transferring patients right now and waiting until Pandemic calms down

3. Reverse transition is happening for some patients who return to pediatric providers right now when they can not reach their new adult provider
