  Primary care providers (PCPs) are often the only resource for rural/frontier residents needing mental healthcare. Mental health training is not easily accessible for PCPs working in rural settings. Distance education offers a low-cost, convenient way for PCPs to obtain the information necessary to treat the mental health needs of their patients.
