What is Project ECHO?
Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a lifelong learning and guided practice model that revolutionizes non-clinical and medical education. The ECHO Model has proven effective across disciplines and geographies as a way to reduce disparities and drive collaborative solutions for local priorities. Educators who participate in ECHO programs learn evidence-based best practices, solve problems collaboratively through case-based learning, and implement new practices in their daily work with the support of local experts.
Inspired by the way clinicians learn from medical rounds during residencies, the ECHO Model® has evolved into a learning framework that applies across disciplines for sustainable and profound change.
We call it “all teach, all learn". For more information, please visit: https://echo.unm.edu.
ECHO sessions take place via real-time, interactive videoconferencing, using a PC/Mac, laptop, tablet, or smart phone equipped with a webcam, and a versatile, user-friendly, HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based software application called Zoom.
