telemedicine is a network process. it is sort of a movement that is trying to get kick started in several medical fields. psychology is one of them. its basically interacting with a tv and microphone. the medical person (team) is say on east coast when you are on west coast and you set up times to meet like normal and have session via video and mic.
there are several downfalls, most of which not many people are doing it, others disagree with it (security and such). but if their set up is done right it is completely secure. also they are having difficulty figuring out how to bill for this and let's face it money is the heart of the issue here. once they figure that out i'm sure it will pounce forward.
best wishes.
