Digital technologies are changing psychiatric practice faster than formal education can often adapt. My educational work focuses on the competencies clinicians need to use telepsychiatry, artificial intelligence, mHealth and other digital tools safely, ethically and effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A growing part of my work is dedicated to the development of competency-based Digital Psychiatry education for medical students and psychiatry residents, as well as professional training for clinicians already in practice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future clinicians therefore need more than technical familiarity with digital tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They need to understand when digital approaches are clinically appropriate, how to evaluate evidence, how to recognize limitations and risks, and how to maintain patient safety, professional responsibility and the therapeutic relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Education should prepare clinicians to use technology critically and responsibly \u2014 not simply teach them how to operate digital tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 01<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Core concepts, evidence, digital clinical competencies and the changing role of the psychiatrist.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n 02<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Clinical assessment and treatment by video, therapeutic relationship, suitability, limitations and hybrid models.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n 03<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Clinical applications, evidence, limitations, bias, explainability, human oversight and professional responsibility.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n 04<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mobile apps, digital monitoring, connected technologies and their potential roles in assessment, treatment and follow-up.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n 05<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Privacy, data protection, consent, patient safety, clinical accountability and responsible use of digital systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n 06<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n How digital tools are introduced into real healthcare systems, including adoption, quality, workflow and evaluation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n 07<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Digital divide, language and cultural matching, cultural safety, access barriers and cross-border \/ international perspectives.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n A current focus of my work is the development of competency-based educational concepts in Digital Psychiatry for medical students and psychiatry residents.

CURRENT FOCUS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The aim is to integrate digital competencies into medical and specialist psychiatric education in a clinically meaningful way \u2014 linking technology with evidence, ethics, patient safety, implementation and professional responsibility.
I welcome collaboration with universities, medical schools, psychiatric training programmes and professional organisations interested in developing or strengthening education in this field.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nTEACHING & COLLABORATION FORMAT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
