Best work from home healthcare careers in 2025

With the rise of digital health and patient-facing healthcare apps, there’s never been a better time to take your clinical expertise online.

Whether you're a burnt-out bedside nurse, a physician curious about health tech, or a pharmacist wondering if there's life beyond the counter, this is your guide to work-from-home healthcare jobs in 2025.

We’re diving into the best remote healthcare careers in tech and digital health, complete with what the roles entail, why you’re a natural fit, how to upskill, and what kind of paychecks you can expect. Plus: tips to actually land one. 

Of course not all of these jobs are guaranteed to have work from home options available. In 2025 more and more companies are bringing people back to the office and saying goodbye to work from home or work from anywhere models. However, according to this analysis done in Q4 2024, tech companies still had the highest percentage of remote job postings across all industries (at 18%). Of note, healthcare and technology companies are listed separately in this analysis and it is unclear how health tech companies categorized themselves.
