Course Description: The increasing availability and potential of telemental health (TMH) treatment necessitates that the practitioner has an understanding of the empirical evidence concerning the feasibility/acceptance and impact of telemental health (TMH) interventions on disease management and specific mental health disorders. It is of paramount importance that practitioners, payers, policymakers, program developers, and members of the broader public understand definitive information regarding the true merit of TMH. The accessibility of TMH, the effects on medication compliance, related health outcomes, and associated costs were further considered in the accompanying study.
