đź“ŁThe last 2026 virtual Convention Session Highlight!

Telehealth continues to shape how psychologists deliver care, but ethical decision-making involves more than choosing a virtual format. Updated guidelines, state regulations, and individual client needs all factor into determining the best approach.

Join Dr. Mary K. Alvord, PhD, and Janet P. Orwig, MBA, CAE, on Friday, October 23, from 1–4:15 p.m. for Beyond the Basics: Ethical Considerations and Engagement in Telehealth.

This intermediate-level virtual session will cover changes to the APA Telepsychology Guidelines, ethical considerations when determining the appropriate format for care, and regulatory issues involving telehealth and interstate practice.

Earn 3 CE hours, including ethics and PSYPACT credit, and take away practical considerations to apply to your work. The last but certainly not least session of our 2026 Convention–you don’t want to miss it!

Convention begins in a couple days, but it’s not too late to register! Join us in-person or virtually.
