Telehealth doctors provide medical care to patients remotely, using digital communication technologies such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging. They may diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions, including minor illnesses, chronic conditions, and mental health concerns. Telehealth doctors may also provide preventative care and health education, as well as prescribe medications and order laboratory tests. In addition to providing remote care, telehealth doctors may also manage patient records, coordinate care with other healthcare providers, and keep up-to-date with the latest technological developments in their field. Telehealth doctors require the same medical training and education as traditional doctors, and may specialize in a particular area of medicine, such as family medicine or mental health. However, they also need to be comfortable and skilled in using technology and digital communication tools to provide care to patients remotely.

To become a telehealth doctor in Miami, the doctor needs to attend medical school and earn a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) degree.
