The COVID-19 pandemic required intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment (IIPT) programs to shift to virtual models of care. This study used a multimethod approach to examine outcomes of a pediatric hybrid IIPT program (50% in-person treatment and 50% synchronous video-based telehealth) and assessed staff experiences while treating within this model. ⋯ When considering telehealth as a treatment tool for youth with complex chronic pain, it is crucial to leverage its benefits while addressing its challenges for patients and providers.
