Description

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming the norm for clinical psychologists. Despite expansion, literature has highlighted variable preparation among practitioners for the use of AI in clinical services, creating potential issues for an ethical, legal, safe, and evidence-informed practice. This 3-hr webinar is designed to provide clinical psychologists with an introductory discussion of AI use, ethics, and legal considerations. Uses, benefits, limitations, competencies, and ethical/legal logistics (e.g., informed consent) will be outlined.

Participants will learn practical strategies to enhance therapeutic presence, navigate common telehealth challenges, and determine when in-person or higher levels of care are warranted. The webinar also addresses equity considerations, including privacy, safety, and access across diverse patient populations. Emphasis is placed on concrete language, decision-making frameworks, and immediately applicable clinical tools.

Description

NOTE: This webinar will begin at 3:00pm Eastern Time.

Telepsychology has become an essential part of practice, but navigating its ethical and risk management challenges requires going beyond checklists and simple compliance. This workshop invites psychologists to view telepractice through an ecosystem lens—a dynamic, interconnected system where laws, technology, client needs, cultural contexts, and emerging regulations all interact. Rather than treating these domains in isolation, we will explore how shifts in one area ripple outward, creating both risks and opportunities for ethical practice. Participants will gain a systems-level perspective on the current telepsychology landscape, while also engaging with applied tools to support ethical and risk-managed judgment.
