Jonathan Neufeld, PhD, brings over 15 years of hands-on experience in rural health and telehealth systems. As Program Director of the Great Plains Telehealth Resource and Assistance Center, Dr. Neufeld has helped countless providers across the country implement effective telehealth strategies—particularly in underserved communities.

Expect a clear, relevant, and immediately applicable training experience.
This course covers the full spectrum of integrated behavioral health models and where they fall along the “integration continuum.” You’ll learn how telehealth functions as more than a tool—how it becomes an enabler of interdisciplinary care, warm handoffs, efficient communication, and documentation workflows. You’ll also explore legal and ethical concerns unique to telehealth, including licensing across jurisdictions, consent practices, privacy laws, and regulations such as 42 CFR Part 2.
