Does a Physician need to have a background in Telemedicine to provide Telemedicine services?
No, but it does help to have a Physician providing Real-Time (live) Telemedicine services who possesses a personable persona. If Telemedicine consultations are done over video, the Physician should be someone that speaks clearly and is not afraid to be on camera. A good criteria for selection of your Telemedicine Services Physician is someone that is motivated and excited by and not fearful of technology, especially if Store and Forward or Home Health Telemedicine is your main usage model.
