Oct. 27, 2012 - PRLog -- San Diego, California – October 27, 2012 -  From defining basic telehealth and online therapy terms to developing a thriving telehealth practice both legally and ethically, the TeleMental Health Institute provides comprehensive training opportunities that range from an Overview Course that introduces basic issues to an extensive Certificate Program, which provides comprehensive training for online service provision.  Offering evidence-based professional education for CEs and CMEs, the TeleMental Health Institute’s trainings are comprehensive and unparalleled.  Dr. Maheu has long been respected as one of the field’s leading trainers.

As the Telemental Health Institute launches its online training courses and programs, it announces the Telehealth Summit 2012, an unprecedented online training opportunity for professionals who want to learn from the best speakers, and use the power of the Internet to study from their home, office or whenever they choose to be.

The Telehealth Summit 2012 is a live conference that will be held 100% online, starting October 29 and extending through November 30th. The Summit will offer 8 CMEs or 10CEs. Maheu explained, “The Telehealth Summit 2012 will address commonly asked questions such as, ‘How can I get started?’ ‘How can I provide online services without getting into trouble?’ and ‘How can I get reimbursed for the services I provide online?’”  

Dr Maheu outlines these key advantages to web conferences: “Web conferences bring unparalleled convenience to busy professionals who prefer to spend time with their family and friends and are reluctant to travel to expensive hotels and pay for meals, cabs, etc. Furthermore, web conferences are not bound by space and time, so cutting edge information can be made available and delivered over a span of time rather than forcing attendance on any single day. Professionals can also listen to the desired information as audio recordings, printed transcipts, a CD, etc.at their convenience. They can have the information delivered to the mobile device of their choosing: an iPhone or Android, tablet PC (iPad), laptop or desktop. ”

The Telehealth Summit 2012 is an unparalleled training opportunity that brings together the top professionals in the telehealth field. Speakers include attorneys, physicians, psychologists and researchers to provide comprehensive training and insights into the primary legal and ethical issues.  Customer service and technical support will be provided throughout the conference, and satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.  For details, see:  http://www.summit.telehealth.org/register
