Paving Clinical Practice Innovation with Dr. Joe Kvedar

Posted by Abby McInturf on May 29, 2025

Join us in our discussion with Dr. Joe Kvedar, Professor of Dermatology at Harvard Medical School and a pioneer in telemedicine, as he shares his groundbreaking journey over 30 years or more. In addition to being an early practitioner, he probably coined many of the terms we use these days. As significant as his contributions have been, he continues his paving activities forward in numerous ways, including with his role in launching the new RTM (Remote Therapeutic Monitoring) CPT codes, possibly a precursor to value-based care models in rehab therapy. He is also the Editor-in-Chief at npj Digital Medicine, an online open-access journal for research in all things digital medicine and health. Above all, Dr. Kvedar is kind and generous in his ways, unassuming, and always willing to help others follow in his footsteps.
