**2.3 For healthcare providers**

Patients from the traditional generation trust their physicians [4, 5]. They are more likely to do what their healthcare providers tell them to do without questioning it. They look to their physicians for education about their health nearly exclusively, and they expect to visit in person. Their physicians need to be explicit in recommendations as the traditional patient will tend to do precisely what you say [6]. While the recent pandemic has forced many to reach a certain comfort level with telehealth, they still prefer in-person visits when possible. They will sign up for a portal but will likely use it to review results only [7] (**Table 1**).
