The Fall Cohort will start on October 15th.

We estimate that the program takes 4-5 hours per week:

• Course time - 3 hours per week. Two 1.5-hour sessions.
• 1:1 coaching - 2 hours per month
  Resume development - 2 hours
• Applying for state licenses - 3-4 hours if you are using a licensing specialist. This includes time to get fingerprints and documents notarized.
• Applying or interviewing - 1-2 hours

All of the modules will be recorded so you can watch at your own pace and convenience. So if you need to take more time to get through the course, that is perfectly acceptable.

I built my telemedicine business as an independent contractor/ consultant, working with various companies. As an independent contractor, you will not need employees for the telemedicine company, but I do recommend contracting help for things such as a bookkeeper and/or accountant, business lawyer, and a virtual assistant. That being said, if you are planning to build a telemedicine company from scratch…a brick n mortar telemedicine company, then you will need the employees you are likely used to such as an MA, office staff, billing staff, etc.

I used to recommend starting with 6 state licenses.  But since Covid, many of the telemedicine service providers are not even interviewing physicians who do not have at least 10 state licenses. I am now recommending that physicians start with 10 state licenses. Having 10 was the sweet spot for me.  I felt as if I had enough licenses to keep me busy all the time. My husband and I co-founded a medical licensing company with the intention to make multistate licensing more affordable and more streamlined for physicians in telemedicine.  We currently offer a Bonus10-pack for $3,500 for 10 licenses ($350 each).

ABSOLUTELY.  The next 10 years are filled with so many exciting opportunities in telehealth--AI, wearable technology, advances in video technology, etc.
