As our mental health care moves increasingly towards electronic forms of service delivery, practitioners are obligated to increase their skills and knowledge of various technologies to assist with accommodating this trend. Corresponding to this technological trend are the concomitant ethical issues that can arise in this new practice environment. During this presentation, participants will be enabled to describe the relevant ethical issues, practice considerations, and alternate forms of clinical practice in this Age of Connection. New practice possibilities as well as the limits to such service delivery will be identified.
This is a non-interactive self-study course.
Instruction consists of 1 hour of video instruction and a post-test.
From the time of registration, you have six months to access the coursework.
Upon completion of this training, professionals will be able to do the following:
Learning Objectives:
- Identify ethical guidelines for e-therapy and related practices such as tele-medicine;
- Demonstrate knowledge of the utility and limits to practice employing technology;
- List alternative clinical practices and options in the Age of Connection
