Q: To start, can you tell us what you’ve been up to since fellowship?
Dr. Moghbel: Right after I wrapped up my final fellowship year at Stanford, I went on maternity leave for two months and had my second son. After that, I started back full time at Vituity. I now mainly work from home providing teleneurology and teleneurohospitalist coverage for multiple hospitals.
It’s so gratifying to treat patients who need acute neurology care but live in areas where specialist coverage is scarce. Thanks to telehealth, neurologists like me can respond in minutes to initiate time-limited treatments and promote optimal outcomes.
If you had told me three years ago that this would be possible, I wouldn’t have believed it. Teleneurology has its challenges, but I don’t think any of us ever imagined its possibilities until recently.
