The national shortage of child psychiatrists has left many children without access to treatment. Telepsychiatry can extend the reach of child psychiatry by providing consultative care to children at a distance. The authors provide a definition of telepsychiatry, a review of the limited published child research in the area, and a child telepsychiatry clinic model. The value of child telepsychiatry is emphasized, as well as the need for standardized practice and research.
