Telehealth Career Resources
Resources for residents, fellows, and students looking to drive real change in the behavioral health space.
When you work in telehealth, you can help a community you love from wherever you live, on a flexible schedule.
Getting your start in telehealth
Whether you’re a postgraduate for mental health or are completing a training program for a behavioral health license, there’s a lot to consider when exploring all the possibilities of a career in mental health. Maybe you’re looking to work with a population close to your heart or maintain a work-life balance to shield yourself from burnout. Whatever the need, telehealth has a lot of valuable benefits that can help you make the most of your career.
At Iris, we work with behavioral health professionals from all across the country to ensure they have what they need to succeed in their careers. From value-based care and remote work to covering licensing and credentialing services, DEA fees, and occurrence-based malpractice insurance – we walk with providers throughout their careers to help ensure the best possible experience for them and their patients.
We also provide a wealth of learning opportunities for future candidates. While the list is long, some programs include patient experience training, leadership development workshops, the economics of practicing medicine, and billing and coding workshops.
