I know there’s a lot of enthusiasm about indefinite WFH but shouldn’t there be fear as well?
I’m just graduating from Radiology residency and telerads is definitely a career opportunity - but really only because of reimbursement from Medicare. You have to be in a US state or territory to get full reimbursement. For me that’s a fortunate insulating moat that protects me and other American physicians from international competition.
An international radiologist can dictate studies but only as a preliminary status which then require a second look and report finalized by a stateside physician.
To my point - what is the tech workers moat? How will they insulate themselves from international competition?
If I can’t do remote anymore because of international competition then I’ll move on site and do procedures as well as read, which obviously off site personnel can’t do. I don’t like that kind of work, but I’ll do it. What will tech workers do?
