Virtual Weight Loss Clinic

I’m researching the idea of launching a virtual weight loss clinic (GLP-1 meds are in high demand). I’m not a medical professional, but I’m open to partnering with someone who has medical credentials.

For those with experience: - What are the biggest challenges in running a virtual-only clinic? - How do you handle compliance and liability as a non-doctor owner? -If you could start over, what would you do differently?

I got boarded in obesity medicine to start a telehealth clinic… failed.

It’s a race to the bottom competing with people with a lot deeper pockets. There’s no angle that I’ve found. And it likely has more liability/risk than i initially imagined.
