Hello,
I am considering a full time 100% telehealth position (no call) in order to be able to reside in my ideal city as the job perks outweigh the benefits of other similar jobs in that particular city. The other jobs I am considering with equivalent perks are in other cities that would not be my #1 ideal location. The main downside to this telehealth job is...well.. the lack of face-to-face human interaction/potential development of organic workplace relationships that would occur at an office. All of the jobs I am considering (including the telehealth one) have good support and options for job growth for an early career psychiatrist. I just don't know if I would start feeling isolated or not really ever feel "part of the team" by taking this telehealth job.
Considering that I would be the only person doing fully telehealth work (while the rest of the staff would be at the site at least a few days a week having in-person interactions) would I be considered a non-integral member of the staff there? One positive could be that after a year or so I might be able to transfer to a similar in-person job in my ideal city while living there if a position opens up (but not guaranteed).
Thoughts?
