Project ECHO® is a lifelong learning and guided practice model that revolutionizes online CME courses and exponentially increases workforce capacity to provide best-practice specialty care and reduce health disparities. The heart of the ECHO model™ is its expansive knowledge-sharing network, led by expert teams who use multi-point videoconferencing to conduct online CME courses and virtual clinics with community providers. In this way, ECHO®
allows CME providers to foster problem solving and interactive case discussion amongst doctors, nurses, and other clinicians, imparting invaluable insight to providing excellent specialty care to patients in their own communities.
The Project ECHO® format fosters dialogue in a way most online CME courses don’t and asking any questions you may have on the topic or a patient case in a HIPAA compliant manner is encouraged.
