Season 1, Episode 2

Optimizing Telehealth is actually a telehealth podcast and telemedicine podcast that is available for CME and CE credit hours with a live audience through the Telebehavioral Health Institute. The video and audio tracks are edited and re-formatted to into a videocast through Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. That video stream is further edited into four audio podcasts to be disseminated as segments through the seven podcast stations: iTunes, iHeart Radio, Google Play, Sounder, TuneIn, Amazon Music, Stitcher, Spotify.

All podcasts are based on the Interprofessional Framework for Telebehavioral Health Competencies published by the Coalition for Technology in Behavioral Science (CTiBS) in 2018. The Optimizing Telehealth series of telehealth podcasts then are designed to help professionals granularly consider how the framework applies to their work.
