Accepting Telehealth Jobs: 5 Big Legal & Ethical Mistakes To Avoid Online Live Training

SAN DIEGO - Oct. 19, 2022 - PRLog -- Many therapists can benefit from reviewing the clinical, legal, and ethical issues involved, whether currently employed or looking for employment with a telehealth or teletherapy services employer. Touting ample referrals, flexible work schedules, signing bonuses, and many work-from-home benefits, teletherapy companies can seem like a dream come true. But are they? Therapists are often unaware of the responsibilities they accept by signing employment contracts with telehealth service companies. They may face unexpected dilemmas that make it difficult to leave the employer. This program will give you the questions to ask to uphold your legal and ethical mandates.

TBHI's Executive Director, Dr. Marlene Maheu, will host this podcast/webinar to help you make clear, practical, and responsible decisions regarding your telehealth services. In a Q&A format open to audience participation, Dr. Maheu will discuss the following topics (and more) with her distinguished guests:

• How to avoid the five biggest legal and ethical mistakes made by licensed clinicians working for online employers.
• The essential information to look for on potential online employer's websites
• How to read telehealth job contracts for clauses to discuss with your attorney
• How to decide if a company's technology will allow you to meet the many legal requirements outlined by many licensing boards and professional association ethical codes.

Speakers

• Laura Groshong, LICSW, CSWA Policy and Practice Director, Clinical Social Work Association
• Deborah Baker, JD, APA Director of Legal and Regulatory Policy
• Marlene Maheu, Ph.D., Founder, and CEO of the Telebehavioral Health Institute (TBHI)
