An efficient method of delivering training to behavioral health personnel over time is online video conferencing.  Clinics thus far have chosen monthly or bimonthly appointments ranging from 1-2 hours, sometimes in small groups or with an individual.  It is even possible to have multi-site meetings.

Currently, primarycareshrink.com supports iChat (preferred), Skype, ooVoo, or iVisit.  iChat comes pre-installed on all Macs and is the best video conferencing platform  It supports up to 3-way video-conferencing.  An AIM (free) or MobileMe account (paid) is needed.  ooVoo, Skype and iVisit can be installed on a PC with a web camera.  ooVoo and iVisit support multi-person  conferences as well.  Both are free downloads but improved features such as multi-person conferences can be extra.

Training and program development via internet-based video-conferencing is a very efficient and effective use of resources.
