Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Treatment-Resistant Depression: An Interactive Self-Learning Module.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has become increasingly prevalent in psychiatry. A growing body of literature supports its use with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), and this indication has gained FDA approval. However, new psychiatry residents often have little exposure to or understanding of TMS.

Methods

This animated, fully narrated, self-learning module (SLM) introduces learners to TMS and its use in TRD and can be completed within 30 minutes. The goal is for viewers to be proficient with the basic science, indications, contraindications, side effects, and treatment process for TMS in TRD. Self-assessment questions throughout the module highlight and reinforce key learning points falling under the educational objectives.
