abstract="Educators must provide controlled scenarios for health professional students to develop patient safety competencies related to telemedicine, including when and how to escalate care. We developed a telepsychiatry workshop to give students experience with a high-stakes mental health condition. The workshop included (1) pre-session readings; (2) didactics on mood disorders and telepsychiatry; (3) a motivational interviewing exercise; (4) a simulated telemedicine encounter; and (5) a faculty-led group debrief. We evaluated teaching effectiveness using a competency assessment with three scales: (1) medical knowledge; (2) interpersonal and communication skills; and (3) telemedicine competencies. Between 0 and 59% of students were entrustable for each telemedicine competency. Our workshop demonstrates how to teach students about the safe use of telehealth technology and provides practice triaging mental health conditions commonly encountered in primary care and mental health telemedicine clinics.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
