ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

American Telemedicine Association

The American Telemedicine Association is like a really cool club for doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. They use special technology to help people who live far away from hospitals or medical centers to get medical advice and treatment.

It's like playing a video game, but instead of a controller, the doctors and nurses use their computers, phones or tablets to talk to the patient or look at their medical records. This way, even if you live in the middle of nowhere, you can still get medical help from the best doctors and healthcare professionals, without having to leave your house.

The American Telemedicine Association makes sure that all of the technology is working properly and that the doctors and nurses know how to use it. They also help to set the standards and rules for telemedicine to make sure that everyone is safe and getting the best care possible.

So, it's like having super smart doctors and nurses in your pocket, ready to help you whenever you need them!
