Many physicians enjoy seeing patients but find that the logistics of working in an office or hospital setting don’t allow the flexibility they need. If you’re looking for a change of pace or want more latitude in your schedule, telemedicine may be just the right fit. Dr. Chet Tharpe, my guest today, is an allergist/immunologist who found he loved telemedicine so much as a side gig that he made it into his full-time career. He’ll share how he got started, ways to find telemedicine jobs, and how to grow telemedicine into a full-time and flexible career.

In this episode we’re talking about:

  • How Dr. Tharpe got started practicing telemedicine
  • Different types of telemedicine roles
  • How Chet built his practice by acquiring additional state licenses
  • The nuts and bolts of patient care through telemedicine
  • Compensation ranges for telemedicine jobs
  • How to find a company that’s a good fit
  • Dr. Tharpe’s experience working with 10+ telemedicine companies

"Heather’s approach was great! She would listen to me and helped me appreciate who I am."

I remember when she said ‘do your resume before our next meeting’, I was about to push back but she gently nudged me along and I’m glad I did exactly what she wanted me to do. We also did interview prep via Zoom and I was offered a great job in UM. She has continued to follow up even after I was offered this job, helping me with pointers about negotiating. I will totally recommend the Doctors Crossing and Heather to anyone feeling stuck like me and looking for a great coach! Thank you Heather!
