Summary:Faculty and trainees need clinical skills, knowledge, and attitudes to ensure quality care using technology. Clinical faculty teach, supervise, and role model skills for trainees and interprofessional team members. Mobile health, smartphone/device, and app competencies may be situated within the graduate medical education milestone domains. This article outlines these competencies and aligns them with clinical care, teaching methods, and evaluation. These competencies have similarities and differences from in-person and telepsychiatric care and additional dimensions like clinical decision support, technology selection, and information flow management across an e-platform. Health systems must integrate in-person and technology-based care, while maintaining the therapeutic relationship.
