|---|
| Credentials | Medical degree from a foreign country, licensing varies by region | Medical degree, valid medical license, and telemedicine certification |
| Work Environment | Home-based, often independent or with healthcare organizations | Remote, providing consultations via telehealth platforms |
| Employer & Industry | Hospitals, clinics, telehealth companies, or independent practice | Telehealth companies, hospitals, or healthcare networks |

The key difference lies in licensing requirements and the specific focus on telehealth services.
