In this episode, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming welcomes back Dr. Suneer Chander and Dr. Takashi Nakamura, founders of Air Physician Academy, to discuss how doctors can thrive in the telemedicine space. From obtaining multiple state licenses to diversifying income through multiple contracts, they share actionable insights on building a flexible, fulfilling, and profitable telemedicine career.
The duo also dives into the evolution of Air Physician Academy, which has trained over 110 physicians through its Elite and Launch programs.
