How to get physician telemedicine jobs?

January 25, 2023 · 3 min read

A telemedicine physician is a licensed medical doctor who provides medical care remotely, typically through the use of video conferencing, phone calls, or other forms of telecommunication. This type of physician uses technology to diagnose and treat patients remotely, rather than providing care in person. Telemedicine physicians may work in a variety of specialties, including primary care, psychiatry, and cardiology. Telemedicine physicians can work for hospitals, clinics, telemedicine companies, or private practices. They can also work on a part-time or full-time basis. Telemedicine is becoming an increasingly popular way for patients to access medical care, especially in rural or remote areas, and for people who have mobility issues, and it's also used as a tool to reduce the spread of infectious diseases.


There are several ways to find telemedicine physician jobs:

  • Job search websites: Many healthcare employers post job openings for telemedicine physicians on popular job search websites, such as Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor.

  • Professional associations: Joining professional associations in your field of medicine can give you access to job listings and networking opportunities with other telemedicine physicians.

  • Healthcare companies: Many healthcare companies, such as Teladoc, Amwell, and MDLive, offer telemedicine services and may be hiring physicians.

  • Recruitment agencies: Some recruitment agencies specialize in placing physicians in telemedicine positions.

  • Networking: Networking with other physicians and healthcare professionals in your field can help you learn about job openings that may not be advertised publicly.

  • Specialize in telemedicine: You can pursue training and certification in telemedicine to increase your chances of finding a telemedicine physician job.


It is also important to have a strong resume and cover letter that highlight your experience and qualifications, as well as your interest in telemedicine. In addition, candidates should comply with the telemedicine regulations and laws in the state where they intend to practice, and for the practice location, as well as the licensure requirements.

To become a telemedicine doctor, you must complete medical training and be qualified or certified. Without a valid medical license, you cannot find a job as a telemedicine doctor.


Besides this you must also complete the following steps:

  • Obtain a medical degree from an accredited medical school.

  • Complete a residency program in your chosen specialty.

  • Obtain a medical license in the state where you plan to practice.

  • Get certified in telemedicine through organizations such as the American Telemedicine Association or the American Board of Medical Specialties.

  • Meet the telemedicine requirements set by the state medical board where you want to practice.

  • Meet the requirements of the telemedicine payers, including those of private insurance companies and government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.

  • Get trained on the telemedicine software and equipment used by your practice.
