A note regarding these telepsychiatry courses: the newer course, Emerging from the Mayhem, contains the most up-to-date information but focuses on prescribing and licensure. Managing the Mayhem covers eight considerations for a low-risk telepsychiatry practice. We suggest completing both courses, Managing, for its coverage of the basic eight considerations, then Emerging, to gain appreciation for the latest changes in telepsychiatry practice.
