This paper describes a pediatric telepsychiatry program serving communities in rural Ontario, Canada. Since the program's inception in 2000, over 4,300 direct clinical consultations have been provided for a variety of presenting issues. Indirect consultations and educational sessions have augmented clinicians' knowledge. Participant evaluation of the program indicates that a comprehensive model of psychiatric consultation and education can be delivered effectively via live interactive videoconferencing to support primary care and to enhance capacity in remote, underserviced areas in Ontario
