Abstract
The COVID‐19 pandemic has forced many psychiatric providers into a personal crash course in telepsychiatry that we, perhaps, never planned to sign up for. Our comfortable workplaces filled with toy houses, markers, and board games have been reduced to a 12‐inch computer screen in a rapidly constructed home office. The urgency of continued psychiatric care in the setting of a pandemic allowed for rapid expansion of telepsychiatry services at a pace never previously experienced in our history. We have seen changes to restrictions and regulations in the field happen quickly, even those that had previously sat on the table for years. This includes emergency exceptions allowing psychiatrists to see patients by video in states where they do not have full licensure. Before March, the word Zoom meant nothing more to most of us than a muffled sound a car makes as it drives by. It now represents a telepsychiatry platform that has become the (temporary) backbone of our careers.
