The term “telehealth” has been in the lexicon for over a quarter of a century, and the delivery of therapeutic services has increased significantly during this time. But only recently have psychologists and psychiatrists routinely conducted forensic evaluations remotely, typically employing synchronous videoconferencing technology.

Benefits and limitations of conducting forensic evaluations via teleconferencing, advantages, and disadvantages of platform features, general evaluation practices, psychological testing practices, relevant practice guidelines, specific ethical issues, possible legal challenges, and how to document and communicate about the use of this technology in forensic reports and testimony.
Upon completion of this program you will be able to:
Describe a minimum of six benefits and six limitations of conducting forensic psychological and psychiatric evaluations using videoconferencing technology
Describe five best practices relevant to conducting forensic evaluations using videoconferencing technology
Describe a minimum of four ethical obligations that are particularly applicable to and shape how forensic evaluations should be conducted when using videoconferencing technology
