Description

Psychological assessments are a cornerstone of diagnostic accuracy—but how do clinicians uphold best practices when the tools, environments, and communication channels shift to telehealth? In a world where remote services are essential, assessors are under increased pressure to adapt without sacrificing quality, ethics, or clinical effectiveness.

This course offers a practical and research-based roadmap for clinicians navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of telemental health assessments. If you’ve felt unsure about how to replicate the integrity of in-person assessments through a screen, this training meets that challenge head-on.

Dr. Amy Marschall, Psy.D., brings her expertise as a licensed psychologist, certified telemental health provider, and seasoned CE instructor to this course. With years of clinical experience providing assessments for children and adolescents, as well as authoring multiple books on telemental health practices, Dr. Marschall equips professionals with the nuanced skills required to assess ethically and effectively via telehealth.

Her instructional style is both engaging and grounded in evidence. Through relatable case examples, practice-informed strategies, and current research, Dr. Marschall offers actionable tools you can apply immediately—whether you're conducting mental status exams, administering cognitive tests, or handling documentation.

Topics covered include mental status examinations, diagnostic and intake interviews, and behavioral observations conducted via telehealth. You'll explore the remote use of cognitive/IQ, personality, achievement, and projective assessments, with guidance on ethical adaptations, test security, client environment evaluation, and how to work with children or clients with special considerations. The course also details APA and IOPC guidelines, hybrid and asynchronous models, and documentation standards for remote testing.

Key Takeaways:

Apply best practices for telehealth assessment: Learn how to confidently shift traditional assessments to telehealth settings while preserving data quality and client rapport.
Conduct clinically sound and ethical evaluations: Develop strategies for administering a wide range of psychological tests remotely, from screeners to projective measures.
Ensure client readiness and setting appropriateness: Master the decision-making process for determining which clients and environments are suitable for remote psychological assessments.

Trusted CE provider: The Telehealth Certification Institute is a nationally respected leader in behavioral health education, dedicated to clinician empowerment and exceptional care.
Comprehensive and immediately applicable: Go beyond theory with practical tools, protocols, and documentation language you can use right away in your clinical work.
