Free for clinicians · Stay anonymous until you reply
Telehealth physician jobs let MDs and DOs see patients by video, phone, or asynchronous message instead of in a clinic. This category on VitalPost gathers remote and hybrid physician roles across primary care, urgent care, behavioral health, chronic-disease management, and specialty consults — from full-time employed positions to per-diem and moonlighting shifts you can layer on top of clinical work you already do.
It fits physicians who want schedule control, a shorter (or zero) commute, or a way to keep practicing while relocating, tapering, or supplementing income. Because most telehealth care is delivered where the patient sits, these roles reward doctors who hold or are willing to pursue licenses in multiple states.
VitalPost is free for clinicians, and you stay anonymous until you decide to reply to an employer — recruiters can't see your identity or contact details up front. When an employer includes compensation, it's visible to signed-in clinicians; not every listing posts pay, so treat comp as one signal among many.
A telehealth physician provides medical care remotely — evaluating, diagnosing, and treating patients over secure video, phone, or store-and-forward messaging rather than in person. The work spans synchronous visits (real-time video), asynchronous review (reading intake forms, images, or labs and responding), and hybrid models that mix remote days with occasional on-site coverage. Employers range from national virtual-care companies and health systems to startups, insurers, and specialty groups, and the setting suits physicians who are comfortable practicing with a strong history, structured protocols, and clear escalation pathways when a patient needs hands-on care.

These are wages across all employment settings; individual offers vary widely, and many physicians paid through self-employment or partnership are not fully captured.

You need an active, unrestricted medical license, board certification appropriate to the role, and typically a clean malpractice history. Beyond credentials, employers look for comfort with virtual exams, protocol-driven care, and clear documentation, plus a private space and reliable internet. Some roles also expect familiarity with a specific EHR or telehealth platform, which you can usually learn during onboarding.
Generally, yes — care is regulated where the patient is located, so multi-state telehealth work usually means holding a license in each of those states. The Interstate Medical Licensure Compact offers an expedited path to licensure across participating states for eligible physicians, and the Federation of State Medical Boards is a good starting point for state-by-state rules. Always confirm current requirements with the specific state board, since telehealth policies continue to change.
Sometimes, but the rules are stricter and have been actively evolving in recent years. Temporary flexibilities that expanded remote prescribing of controlled substances have been extended while permanent rules are worked out, so what's allowed depends on the drug schedule, the state, and whether an in-person exam is required. Verify the latest guidance with the DEA and your state board before relying on remote controlled-substance prescribing in any role.
Both are common. You'll find full-time and part-time employed positions with benefits, as well as 1099 contract, per-diem, and locum-style arrangements you can pick up flexibly. On VitalPost you can filter and read each listing's employment type; permanent roles tend to emphasize panel continuity and benefits, while contract and per-diem roles emphasize scheduling flexibility and hourly or per-encounter pay.
Compensation typically tracks specialty, board certification, the number of states you're licensed in, employment type (W-2 vs. 1099), and volume expectations — for example, encounters per hour or panel size. Async-heavy and high-volume urgent-care models often pay differently than longitudinal primary care. When an employer posts comp, signed-in clinicians can see it; for defensible benchmarks, cross-check role-level data such as CMS and BLS resources rather than relying on a single listing.
Create a free clinician account and browse or reply without exposing your identity — employers don't see your name, contact details, or CV until you choose to reply to a specific listing. That means you can explore telehealth roles discreetly while employed, and share your information only with the employers you actually want to talk to. You stay in control of what's revealed and when.
