How to Apply for an Account?
Zoom for Healthcare basic and licensed accounts are available for health care providers to use for clinical treatment. See Zoom Account Types for clarification. Zoom for Healthcare accounts are managed by IM/IT Virtual Care. The administration component is essential as settings are specific to privacy and cybersecurity requirements.
You do not require a Zoom account to join a Zoom meeting scheduled by another Licensed Zoom user.
*Administrative Assistants will require a Licensed Zoom account in order to schedule for other Licensed Zoom users. A shared Zoom account will be created for a clinical service area where more than one clerical staff is scheduling.
