Project Echo
Project ECHO is a program using telehealth technology to revolutionize medical education and improve access to specialty care. Developed by the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, Project ECHO works by connecting primary care clinicians with specialist teams via videoconference. Teams of specialists collaborate with clinicians on their particular specialty, enabling the primary care providers to provide specialty care to their patients. Each specialty area has its own ECHO, or team, such as autism or chronic pain. ECHO teams meet regularly to hear cases from providers and make recommendations.
