You Are Not as Stuck as You Feel. The Truth About Telemedicine Episode 174 Dr. Suneer Chander

What if you could replace your hospital income, work 25 hours a week, take three week vacations without asking permission, and still practice medicine you are proud of?

 

Three physicians who made the leap to full time telemedicine join us to share exactly what that looks like and what it took to get there.

 

Timestamps:

  1. 1:00: Meet the panel. An EM doc, a family physician, and a primary care doctor who all left brick and mortar for telemedicine

  2. 7:00: What telemedicine actually looks like for an emergency medicine physician and how to expand your clinical niche

  3. 13:00: Income. Can telemedicine really replace a hospital salary and what does that look like in practice

  4. 25:00: What growth means in telemedicine and why one doctor realized on her last day she had stopped growing years ago

  5. 33:00: Licensure in 51 states. What it costs, how to streamline it, and why more licenses means more opportunity

  6. 43:00: You are not as stuck as you feel. Final thoughts on courage, golden handcuffs, and redesigning your career at any stage

 

3 Key Takeaways:

  1. You Are Not as Stuck as You Feel. Whether you have been in medicine for two years or thirty, the options available to physicians right now are wider than most realize. Telemedicine, independent contracting, medical directorships, niche clinical roles, and leadership opportunities are all on the table. The ceiling you think exists may just be the walls of the building you are currently working in.

  2. The Math of Telemedicine Can Work in Your Favor. One panelist cut her hours by more than two thirds and increased her income. Another paid off sixty thousand dollars in startup costs within a year of going full time. Working fewer hours for comparable or better pay is not a fantasy. It is a business model. But it requires understanding the rules of the space you are operating in.

  3. Community Is What Makes the Leap Survivable. Every panelist pointed to the same thing: the transition was hard, and they could not have done it alone. Whether it is knowing which companies to trust, how to manage licensure across states, or just having someone in your corner when the fear kicks in, the people around you during a major career change matter as much as the plan itself.
