What do I need to work in telehealth?
An active clinical license, one to three years of relevant experience, a private space with wired internet, and comfort documenting while talking. Employers supply the equipment and platform; most also require a state-by-state licensure check before your start date.
Key facts
- Wired ethernet is commonly required; Wi-Fi-only setups are often rejected.
- A private, HIPAA-appropriate room is a hard requirement, not a preference.
- Employers usually supply laptop, headset and the telehealth platform.
- Interviews commonly include a live triage or documentation scenario.
The full answer
The technical bar is low but non-negotiable, and it is where offers fall apart late. Sort the wired connection and a door that closes before you interview.
The clinical bar is about decision-making without a colleague in the room. Prepare two or three examples where you escalated appropriately on limited information — that is the story every telehealth interviewer is listening for.
