HSC Geriatrics ECHO
Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes
A Revolution in Medical Education and Care Delivery
Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a collaborative model of medical education designed to create virtual communities of learners by bringing together healthcare providers and subject matter experts using videoconference technology, brief lecture presentations, and case-based learning, fostering an “all learn, all teach” approach. Participants are engaged in the bi-directional virtual knowledge network by sharing clinical challenges and learning from experts and peers.
