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.

Geriatrics ECHO 2024-25

Each Geriatrics ECHO session, in keeping with the nationally acclaimed ECHO model, comprises a brief didactic presentation by a content expert, followed by a case presentation by an ECHO community provider. The remainder of the session allows for questions and discussion among participants, creating a unique learning environment in which everyone is a teacher and a learner.
