Project ECHO

Project ECHO is an MPHI-wide program that the Center for Strategic Health Partnerships facilitates. ECHO is a model for the facilitation of learning and mentoring. It offers access to state and national content experts on a specific topic or content area. It includes an opportunity for the learners to bring a barrier, challenge, or problem in practice forward for the group to discuss and offer suggestions or new approaches. The ECHO model allows and structures the sessions for two-way communication between the content expert and the learner! ECHO facilitation addresses health equity, improves access to care, and increases knowledge. The motto is, All Teach All Learn! Contact Amy Stagg, astagg@mphi.org, to discuss an ECHO project tailored to your work.
