Overview
What we are looking for? We are looking for Digital Healthcare ACPs who are able to commit to a minimum of 16 hours a week to provide virtual consultations via our intuitive platform, delivering high quality care to our patients. To watch some of our ACPs discuss their work-life balance and what it means to be a DCA ACP, see here: https://youtu.be/meM7eUe-wlI
