Participants are awarded 1.0 hour of ACCME Category CME credit at no cost for each 1.0 hour of live sessions attended. Full instructions for claiming CME are available in the CME Learner Information Packet.
ECHO Model
The ECHO learning model features case-based learning. Case presentations allow for a collaborative learning environment where everyone has an opportunity to learn, and everyone has an opportunity to teach. Anyone can submit a case. If you are having trouble diagnosing a patient, need help determining a treatment plan, or are looking for help in supporting a patient, you may consider submitting a case.
