Kind of a specific question, but I know some people here use Athena, so thought I'd try. Athena doesn't allow login from non-US IP addresses. I discovered this last year when I went to Costa Rica, and my plan to check in on my messages fell apart, leaving my partners to cover everything for me for the week. I'm planning another international trip this year, to Belize, and want to try to avoid that problem. Has anyone ever used a personal VPN like Nord to login to Athena while outside of the US?

Yes. Express VPN works great. Just do a one month subscription and cancel.

I believe I was able to use it overseas off of a cellular connection because it would not work off of Wi-Fi. But def vpn should work. Was able to send a few “emergency” Percocet prescription for my chronic pain patients when I was just in Prague haha
 
What do you do when you go on vacation?
Your partners *should* cover for you on vacation. That’s one of the perks of sharing the load. My partner went on an international trip to propose to his girlfriend and there was no way I was letting his patients interfere with that!
 
I'm the only person in my group who really uses my vacation, which I suppose I should classify as "not my problem" but I suppose I'm too much of a people pleaser. Since there's not any real reciprocity, it doesn't "seem fair" to me to ask them to cover when I go out of town.
