It's great to hear that you're considering expanding your horizons in the medical field. There are several remote opportunities you might find interesting. Some options include medical coding, telehealth nursing, and healthcare IT support.
For medical coding, you'll typically need a certification like CPC (Certified Professional Coder) through AAPC or CCS (Certified Coding Specialist) through AHIMA. Telehealth nursing often requires an RN license, and experience with virtual care platforms can be beneficial. Healthcare IT roles might require IT certifications or experience, especially if you're interested in technical support or managing healthcare software systems.
Companies like UnitedHealth Group, Humana, and CVS Health often have remote roles in these areas. Additionally, platforms such as FlexJobs and Upwork can also be useful for finding remote healthcare positions.
Keeping an eye on industry trends such as the growth of telemedicine and the increasing reliance on health informatics can give you a better idea of where opportunities may arise. As always, networking with professionals in these fields can provide valuable insights and lead to potential job opportunities. Good luck with your exploration!
