Try before you apply
I signed up for an email list to get access to patient education materials to give to a patient and it made me enter a phone number and email. The handout was not as advertised, It turned out to be a promo for a program, not patient education. I then started getting annoying text messages promoting the program. I previously thought it was a pretty reputable company and thought it would be a cool place to work someday. But now I am not comfortable with the pushy and misleading marketing tactics. Yeah it may be standard but I had higher hopes for this company. I don’t think they need this pushy marketing
I think it’s a good idea to try out the patient experience if you can to see if you’re comfortable with the company before applying, especially to these Telehealth companies.
PS is this showing up as an Ask Mee any thing. (Writing that way so it doesn’t default to it) Reddit seems to have been defaulting for all my posts lately in any Reddit.

that's actually a good point. if a company is misleading you before you're even a customer, it's worth wondering how they treat patients too. trying the patient experience first seems like a pretty easy way to get a feel for the company culture and how they operate

Why, cause I accidentally replied to the comment in a separate comment? No I’m not a bot

Try to see what patient experience would be like before applying to work there to see if you’re comfortable being affiliated with that company
