This ECHO course will comprise of 6 Sessions held in September-November 2022. Individual sessions begin with introductions from the Hub Team (the programmatic team to develop materials) and then the Spokes (participants) followed by short didactics, and ending in a case presented by a volunteer participant for open discussion among call members. Project ECHO is not a lecture series, but an opportunity for active participation and community learning.
