Healthcare professionals who lived through the Meaningful Use transformation recognize a familiar pattern emerging with AI adoption. Just as EHR implementation became mandatory after 2009, AI deployment in healthcare is shifting from optional to inevitable. Clinical professionals who position themselves now as bridges between patient care and AI implementation will capture the same lucrative opportunities that digital health consultants found during the EHR gold rush.
Clinical expertise + basic AI literacy are producing six‑figure, fully remote roles—often $120k–$200k—with true location freedom and multiple income streams.
