The General Medicine service is staffed by a network of board-certified physicians who diagnose routine, non-emergency medical problems via the telephone and video. ApkaMD physicians recommend treatment and prescribe medication (when appropriate) by telephone and video 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to patients.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat are the minimum qualifations to work for the General Medical Service\n\t\t\t
We are looking for board-certified doctors with a specialty in internal medicine, family medicine, emergency medicine or pediatrics who are eager to help more people get care in their moment of need.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDoes ApkaMD have set schedules?\n\t\t\t

Yes. ApkaMD requires each patient to complete a medical history disclosure prior to their consult.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHow long is a typical visit?\n\t\t\t
The average visit takes between 8-10 minutes to complete. The member requests his\/her preference for a phone or video call.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAm I able to prescribe medication when clinically necessary?\n\t\t\t
Yes. You will use our embedded e-script service for prescriptions, but we do not allow the prescription of any controlled substances on the platform. We have nursing, associate provider, and pharmacy teams to support prescription requests.<\/p>\n
