Project ECHO
Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (Project ECHO) is a unique “telementoring” program for treating hepatitis C and other diseases in vulnerable communities.
This free program started in 2003 as a weekly teleconference with providers at rural clinics, the Indian Health Service, and prisons across New Mexico to review patient care. Since then, it’s grown into a trademarked learning model for healthcare, education and social justice initiatives around the world. Visit Project ECHO to learn more.
