Celebrating the Future of Medicine, Innovation, and Telehealth Leadership

The AIR Physician Academy Member Retreat is the culminating event for physicians completing our flagship telemedicine training program — a celebration of growth, innovation, and the new career possibilities in remote care. Together, these graduates represent a movement that is expanding healthcare access nationwide and helping reduce disparities in quality care. Each year, our graduates come together to connect, collaborate, and celebrate mastering advanced topics in:

  • • Telemedicine skills and multi-state licensing strategy
  • • Technology and AI for clinical efficiency
  • • Contracts, compliance, and virtual care models
  • • Strategic planning, leadership, and business structure
  • • Entrepreneurship and innovation in digital health

This is where forward-thinking physicians — entrepreneurs, innovators, and newly licensed “51ers” — gather to exchange ideas, explore niche telehealth specialties, and learn how to thrive as leaders in the digital era of medicine.
