In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the world of virtual assistants (VAs) in healthcare. Join us as we chat with Jo, a VA managing a team for a multi-location New Hampshire outpatient practice, and Andre, a core team member at Virtual Rockstar who specializes in finding top-tier VAs.

  • Adapting to American Culture: Understand the nuances and initial challenges VAs face when working with American clients, from communication styles to cultural differences, and how they overcome them.
  • Personal and Professional Growth: Explore the profound personal and professional benefits VAs experience in their roles, beyond financial compensation, including empowerment, leadership development, and work-life balance.
  • Navigating Challenges: Learn about the biggest hurdles VAs encounter, such as communication barriers, managing expectations between clients and VAs, and avoiding burnout from over-promising.
  • What Owners Need to Know: Gain invaluable insights from VAs on how private practice owners can successfully hire and integrate virtual assistants, emphasizing the importance of trust and hiring for potential over just skills.
  • AI and the Future of Virtual Assistance: Dive into the "AI vs. VA" debate. Are VAs scared of AI? How are they leveraging artificial intelligence as a powerful tool to enhance productivity, and what roles do they hope AI will never take over?
  • Rapid Fire Insights: Quick takeaways on favorite tasks, least favorite tasks, and moments that brought tears of joy or humility.
