The Telepsychiatry Advantage
The Telepsychiatry Advantage is a podcast for clinicians who want a clear, practical understanding of how telepsychiatry actually works. As more care moves online, the show breaks down the real considerations behind it—who it works for, where it doesn’t, how to handle risk, what regulations matter, and how to deliver care effectively through a screen. Each episode focuses on what you need to know to make better decisions and avoid common mistakes in a rapidly changing environment.
Your host is Dr. Edward Kaftarian, the founder of Orbit Health, the longest-running telepsychiatry company in the world. He received his psychiatry training at the renowned Johns Hopkins University and holds board certifications in Psychiatry, Forensic Psychiatry, and Addiction Medicine.

First things first: we don’t think AI is here to take the job of psychiatrists. We think the opposite. Used correctly, AI can improve the way psychiatrists work and give clinicians more time to focus on patients directly.
In this episode of The Telepsychiatry Advantage, Dr. Edward Kaftarian explains three practical ways AI is already beginning to improve telepsychiatry — from reducing documentation overload to freeing up time.
