Telemedicine Nurse Practitioner

Job Overview

Job Description

As a telemedicine nurse practitioner, your job is to provide remote treatment for patients through online consultation and telehealth services. Your primary role in this job is to provide advice and consultation, particularly as it relates to treatment options and whether or not a patient needs to visit a clinic or hospital. Telemedicine nurse practitioners often use webcams, chat systems, email, social media, and other forms of online communication to interact with patients. Like all healthcare jobs, you are also expected to maintain patient privacy and confidentiality, so there are some limits on the types of electronic devices you can use. Some telemedicine nurse practitioners work from home, but many work from a local healthcare facility instead.
