What physicians are saying

I was so tired of overworking myself in the clinic, so I pulled back my hours and started to supplement my income with Wheel. It’s been great and I haven’t looked back.
Wheel gave me the opportunity to put my eight state licenses to good use. I make more money now than ever before, and the work is fulfilling. I love treating patients remotely — it’s where healthcare is moving.
I worked with another telemedicine company before Wheel, and it was so stressful. The shifts didn’t align with my personal schedule, and they treated me like a number. Wheel has been such a better experience.
The educational opportunities Wheel provides have been fantastic. From telehealth webinars to platform onboarding, I feel prepared and informed.

FAQ
Can you work from home as a doctor?
Yes. Depending on the type of medicine, doctors with a valid medical license can provide health care remotely to patients using various telecommunication technologies. Many physicians practice full-time telemedicine or use a hybrid work model of both in-person and virtual care. More physicians than ever are incorporating remote work into their practice as it provides flexibility and convenience for both themselves and their patients.
Every state has different rules and regulations governing physician-patient encounters in telemedicine, but all typically require physicians to be licensed in the state where the patient is located. Outside of having a medical license and learning to use the telemedicine platforms and technologies relevant to a specific role, there is usually no other special training required to practice virtual care as an MD or DO.
What jobs can MDs and DOs do from home?
As an MD or DO, your medical career doesn’t have to be confined to a hospital or clinic. There are growing part-time and full-time work opportunities for doctors to leverage their medical degrees while working from home.
Telemedicine is the most common work-from-home profession for doctors, which often involves diagnosing and prescribing medication for common conditions that don’t require an in-person evaluation. However, MDs and DOs can also find greater work-life balance by performing remote jobs ranging from medical writing and research to healthcare consulting and medical education.
As healthcare technology and telemedicine continue to expand, companies and organizations across industries are in need of physicians to deliver remote care and lend their medical expertise.
