  Friday, March 28, 2025

  11:00 am – 12:15 pm CST  (3 CEs)

  With Presenter Marlene Maheu, Ph.D.
  

  Have you addressed all the telehealth compliance requirements beyond PSYPACT that can differ from state to state? 

  Many psychologists underestimate the complex web of state regulations beyond PSYPACT authority, often assuming that licensure alone ensures compliance.

Navigating these complexities has been challenging, with little practical guidance on identifying, tracking, and complying with nuanced differences across jurisdictions. 

  Join this Master Class led by Dr. Marlene Maheu, the pioneer in telebehavioral health compliance. Gain the expertise to stay competent and confident as you expand your practice. Dr. Maheu will guide you through essential terminology, and then engage you in a thought-provoking discussion, equipping you with the resources to grow your telehealth services safely across state lines or international borders.

  This Master Class goes beyond PSYPACT basics — delving into the complexities of interjurisdictional practice to address real-world regulatory and ethical challenges.Bring your most pressing compliance questions and leave with the skills and clarity to expand your practice across state lines and international borders. Join us to fuel your passion for serving clients wherever they are while enjoying peace of mind from effectively managing legal and ethical risks. Plus, take advantage of additional valuable bonuses – see below!

  Workshop Description
  

  In today’s swiftly changing landscape, psychologists are witnessing a surge of fresh opportunities and possibilities. These emerging frontiers not only broaden the scope of professional activities for aiding clients and patients through innovative methods, but also offer avenues to enhance and support practice in ways that were once unimaginable. However, these new territories also come with their own set of unique challenges, unforeseen risks, and uncertainties.

  
  

  Workshop XIV is dedicated to exploring the ethical considerations and risk management strategies essential for effectively maneuvering through these novel domains in psychological practice. Specific topics include:

  • necessary considerations for expanding one’s practice into new areas, 
  • psychedelic assisted therapy (PAT), 
  • the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in psychological practice, 
  • issues related to digital security, 
  • new understandings of PSYPACT and interjurisdictional telepsychology (IJTP), and 
  • effectively managing transitions in one’s practice (e.g., new employment, retirement, disability/illness, professional wills).

  
  

  Learning Objectives:
  At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe basic principles of ethics and risk management, as applied to several specific clinical situations that arise in professional practice.
  2. List at least three areas of the ethics code relevant to expanding one’s psychological practice into new directions. 
  3. Describe potential risks psychologists face when growing their business in new areas.
  4. Summarize at least three risk management strategies that can assist in mitigating risk. 
  5. Explain the current state of legality regarding this model of treatment; identify areas of unique risk when practicing PAT; and delineate at least five specific strategies for ethically managing those risks. 
  6. Define psychedelic assisted therapy (PAT).
  7. Differentiate between legal and illegal interjurisdictional telepsychology (IJTP) practice and explain multiple avenues for legal practice. 
  8. Define three benefits and three risks of using artificial intelligence in psychological practice.
  9. Identify three aspects of HIPAA that apply to privacy and security in emerging technology. 
  10. Summarize four steps in preparing for transitions in professional practice, and three action steps when these changes occur.
  11. Delineate at least four risk management strategies for IJTP, both within and outside of PSYPACT, including the management of patients in crisis across jurisdictions..
