What is project Echo

Project ECHO (Extension for Community Care Outcomes) is a revolutionary guided-practice model that reduces health disparities in your state, nation, and world. Through innovative tele-mentoring, the Project ECHO model uses a hub-and-spoke knowledge-sharing approach where expert teams lead virtual sessions, amplifying the capacity for providers to deliver best-in-practice care to the patients in their own communities.

Testimonials

“My experience with the CCHMC Project ECHO program went way beyond my expectations. I highly recommend the ECHO program to all my colleagues”.

I was able to get a severely anxious teenager with selective mutism on a medication regimen that lowered her anxiety enough to allow her to participate in talk-based counseling.

Project Echo has been a valuable learning experience for me and I have learned and incorporated new ideas into my practice as a direct result of my participation. Each session consists of a brief didactic presentation followed by a group discussion centered around a case presentation. I find that sharing in a group setting and seeing how others approach problems to be a good way of synthesizing how I would or might approach things in my daily practice. I highly recommend participation in Project Echo learning.
