VIRTUAL BEHAVIOURAL MEDICINE PROGRAM
The Virtual Behavioural Medicine (VBM) Program is a collaboration between the
Sam and Ida Ross Memory Clinic at Baycrest and the Toronto Central Behavioural
Support for Seniors Program (TC-BSSP) that uses pharmacological and non-
pharmacological expertise to support care teams in acute care hospitals, long-
term care homes and the community in the management of individuals with
challenging, dementia-related responsive behaviours, such as physical and verbal
aggression, agitation, hallucinations and paranoia.
The VBM Program is designed to be a short-term consultation service and is
completely virtual, delivered through the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN).
A referral is required. To refer a patient to the VBM Program, please contact:
