Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes)

Project ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) uses technology to leverage scarce resources, reduces disparities in care by demonopolizing knowledge, provides case-based learning to enhance mastery of complex information and increase impact, and uses web-based databases to monitor outcomes.

Local primary care providers and the IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health collaborate to improve access to high-quality treatment for common, complex, and chronic diseases in Indiana. With support from interdisciplinary teams of medical specialists based in Indianapolis, the IU Indianapolis ECHO Center uses technology to facilitate mentoring and knowledge sharing, enabling clinicians to provide best-practice care locally. There is no charge to join an ECHO. 

We have partnered with the Project ECHO team to offer free AAFP CME Credit for several of the ECHO programs.
