Dr. Vo is a double-board certified physician who specializes in adult and adolescent psychiatry. She joins Vida after serving as the Medical Director of Telehealth Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Services for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and faculty at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. While at CHOP, Dr. Vo led the development of its telehealth services, including telepsychiatry services for patients at primary care sites using the collaborative care model, which includes working with primary care clinicians. She currently serves on the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) Health Information Technology Committee and Telepsychiatry Committee.
