5 Best Websites/Apps To Make Money Online For Doctors

People say, “Doctors are the angels; God can’t be everywhere, so he sends Doctors”. But, in reality, Doctors are also not everywhere now. Most countries still do not meet the WHO recommendation of a doctor vs people ratio of 1:1000. We have already experienced this issue badly in the last pandemic (COVID-19).

Although this post is about making money online for doctors, it is still necessary to have a maximum number of doctors online so that people can receive basic medical advice anytime. We know that a good diagnosis needs physical appearance & touch. Still, virtual appearance and patient history can diagnose and treat many diseases.

Today, many advanced online medical consultation platforms make it possible for patients and doctors to meet virtually. Here, you can practice beyond your physical reach without being time-bound.

Types of Online Medical Consulting Platforms;

There are two main types of medical consulting platforms for doctors.

1) Pay per consulting base: A doctor will pay for each patient they attend. Payment will vary depending on the Doctor’s rating and department. It’s a part-time basis contract with the consulting platform. There is no time limitation and fixed salary.

2) Contract-based: This consulting platform hires doctors according to their vacancies. Interested doctors must apply online for the post using the necessary credentials. Here, selected doctors will get an hourly or yearly based salary. Typically, they offer hourly based payment for part-time contracts and annual-based salary for full-time jobs.

Documents you need;

Let’s look at what kind of standard documents you will need to apply for any online medical consulting platform.  

1. Medical License: (Valid Medical License from the country where you are certified to practice).
2. Education Certificates: Degree certificates (MBBS, MD, DO, etc.)
3. Drug License: For writing prescriptions.
4. Proof of Identity & Address: Passport, Driver’s License, National ID Card.
5. Work Experience Proof: Letters of employment certificates from previous healthcare employers.
6. Bank Details: For payment processing.

Except for these, you also may need to upload other documents depending on the platform and which country you are certified to practice.
