Thanks for staying connected. I hope this week’s discussions bring valuable perspectives to your practice.

I’ve run remote ergonomics and triage for patients in Bethel; for infusion cases, I ask for the exact med/time and plan light mobility 24–48 hours after — “fatigue first, load later.” If you’re chasing Alaska remote roles, you’ll still need an AK license and a local partner for hands-on when needed; the board page has the details: https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/cbpl/ProfessionalLicensing/Chiropractors.aspx… Starlink made my “clinic-from-a-cabin” experiment workable, but latency can mess with posture demos.

In rural Alaska tele-consults, I’ve had good luck doing a 10-minute ‘pre-infusion check-in’ the morning of the drip, then a light mobility follow-up around 72 hours if they’re on heavier meds like rituximab. , bandwidth is the real choke point — when video stalls I switch to phone plus quick clips patients upload, and Starlink’s been the most reliable around Bethel/Nome. I’m with @Guide on triage, but when storms threaten I drop a brief contingency plan in the chart ahead of time so nobody’s stranded.
