Chad Burkhart Joins UniDoc Advisory Board

UniDoc Health Corp. has welcomed a new member to its Advisory Board.

Chad Burkhart, M.D., CCFP, has been appointed to the board. Burkhart has been involved in telemedicine since 2013 while serving as chief medical officer of two telemedicine companies. His work has enabled him to reach patients in communities across Canada who lack access to primary care, and to ease the burden on local health care resources. In this capacity, he has also collaborated with physician governing bodies and provincial Ministries of Health to clarify existing policies and implement new regulation for telemedicine health care models and identified clinical integration and care opportunities in cooperation with pharmacies, long-term care facilities, indigenous groups, and industry.
 
Burkhart is a family practice and emergency medicine physician with more than 20 years of experience and has become well-versed in clinical leadership and in comprehensive and integrative patient care. He has worked in diverse health care environments and served in various roles, including Rural Family Practitioner, Chief of Staff of Emergency Medicine in Southampton Ontario, and chief medical director of The Toronto Clinic, a corporate executive health care clinic in Toronto, Ontario. He has deep knowledge and insight into a broad scope of issues affecting healthcare, ranging from the allocation of emergency services and resources to technology and the digitization of medicine.

Burkhart graduated from the College of Family Physicians of Canada and is licensed with The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and British Columbia.

“We are delighted to have Dr. Burkhart join with us at this critical juncture of our enterprise,” UniDoc CEO Antonio Baldasarre said. “We sincerely appreciate his interest and passion for the advancement of modern telehealth solutions. His efforts within the medical profession, intergovernmental relations, and past commercial experiences in the sector ideally position him as a major asset to our team. We look forward to working together to help unlock the value of telehealth in what we view as perhaps the most important adjunct to public healthcare in decades.”
