If you've spent years caring for patients as a nurse practitioner (NP) or physician associate (PA)—a profession many employers still refer to as physician assistants—you've probably wondered what other career paths might be available outside traditional clinical practice.
For many nurse practitioners and physician assistants, the idea of starting a health coaching business is appealing. It offers something that traditional healthcare roles often don’t—more flexibility, more control, and the ability to spend meaningful time helping patients make lasting changes.

Not every experienced clinician who leaves a traditional office or hospital setting is looking to slow down. Increasingly, many are looking for a different way to practice. For nurse practitioners and physician associates, telemedicine has evolved far beyond virtual urgent care visits and prescription refills.
Not long ago, remote healthcare jobs were viewed as a niche opportunity. Today, virtual care has become a permanent part of the healthcare landscape, creating new possibilities for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other advanced practice providers.
