That means remote NPs should expect to complete the mandatory in-service and facility-specific training as their on-site colleagues. You may find telemedicine companies educate clinicians on how to use relevant technology and platforms, as well as best practices for good webside manner.

  • Necessary documentation: You should always keep your resume and career documentation updated and handy.
