Virtual Care

Virtual Care encompasses all remote interactions UT Southwestern has with patients, providers, and other health professionals. Virtual Care eliminates the need to travel to campus and allows health care to come to you. Video Visits are an important component of Virtual Care delivery at UT Southwestern.

Video Visit Overview

A Video Visit is a safe and convenient way to get access to a broad spectrum of primary and specialty services at UT Southwestern. Video Visits allow you to receive the same high-quality care from a health care provider as you would receive in person while saving time and the cost of travel.

Video Visits are scheduled appointments that are conducted through a live video and audio feed, using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Video Visits are accessed through your MyChart account and our videoconferencing platform called BlueJeans.
