The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic thrust health care professionals around the globe to the frontlines to care for those affected by this medical crisis. While many surgical and procedural medical subspecialties experienced drastic declines in patient visits during this time, the demand for psychiatric services was more stable. In response to statewide stay at home orders, third-year residents in the psychiatry outpatient clinic described in this article quickly transitioned to telepsychiatry to continue providing care to their patients. While providing care from home, these residents experienced a number of challenges that serve as important lessons for enhancing competence in telepsychiatry services.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行迫使全球各地的医疗保健专业人员站在前线，照顾受这场医疗危机影响的人。虽然在此期间，许多外科和程序医学亚专业的患者就诊量急剧下降，但对精神科服务的需求更为稳定。为了响应全州范围内的就地避难令，本文中描述的精神病学门诊的三年级住院医师迅速过渡到远程精神病学，以继续为他们的患者提供护理。这些住院医师在家中提供护理时，遇到了许多挑战，这些挑战为提高远程精神病学服务能力提供了重要经验。
