Join ACOG Foundation on April 28, 2026, from 10:00-11:00 AM, for an engaging Journal Club webinar to explore and critically appraise the article “A Perinatal Psychiatry Access Program to Address Rural and Medically Underserved Populations Using Telemedicine.” This session will explore how innovative telehealth models are transforming access to mental health care for pregnant and postpartum individuals in resource-limited settings.

Participants will gain insight into the structure and implementation of perinatal psychiatry access programs, including provider-to-provider consultation, care coordination, and training components. They will examine the program’s impact on improving clinical capacity, reducing disparities in maternal mental health care, and addressing barriers faced by rural and underserved populations. The discussion will also highlight practical considerations for adopting similar models in diverse healthcare systems, including technological, logistical, and policy-related challenges.
