I am a retired 43-year-old dentist looking for my next opportunity. I live a long way from anywhere, and was wondering about online opportunities. I finished second in my graduating class, and was a partner in two large, successful practices. There has to be something I am qualified for. Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely, E Dear E: Sticking with options in the healthcare field – and I won't suggest that you go into the commonly known fields of home transcription or medical billing – there are a few online options that may be of interest, depending on your experience, strengths, and interests: • Freelance medical editing/writing
jobs are typically done from home. Even if you
were to be an employee rather than a freelancer,
due to the nature of the job, much of the work
may be able to be done from home, with teleconferencing
or occasional visits to the company's office.
• A university/college/vocational
school may have opportunities for instructors or
course developers for online healthcare or science
courses. This may be able to be done entirely online,
or may be chiefly online, with occasional visits
to a campus.
• Some companies involved
in healthcare recruitment allow for at-home work,
with contacts made via phone, email, and/or videoconferencing.
Periodic trips to interview applicants or visit
client sites may be required.
• There are healthcare-related
franchises
that you could buy into and manage from your home.
Some other options may involve an at-home component, but wouldn't necessarily be 100% at-home, such as: • Medical/pharmaceutical
sales. Some employers allow home offices, but you
would still have to be on the road visiting clients.
• Since you have experience
with practice management, you may consider marketing
yourself as a consultant in the field. Again, you
would have a home office, but would of course have
to make site visits. Discuss This ArticleHave something you'd like to say? Tell us what you think! Read and post comments for this article. Like this answer? Read more questions!
