While telehealth has existed for many years, it has largely not been utilized in the broader health and mental health communities. However, given the recent situation preventing us from being physically close, we must all adapt to be able to serve people in need. For us, this means a larger adoption of telehealth in order to be able to see patients. However, this raises many questions regarding the effectiveness and potential unseen barriers in this widespread adoption. This course addresses these issues and provides vignettes which help illustrate effective provision of telehealth services.

This course is an online, non-interactive, reading based, self-paced, and asynchronous course.
