• Telepsychiatry will be of increasing importance to future psychiatrists.
• Residencies must prepare trainees to work in these environments.
• Trainees typically value the experience highly and are often able to see a more varied patient population than they would normally encounter in their academic training environment.
• Residents in training today will live to practice in her environment where telepsychiatry is as redundant a term as teleradiology.
