Long COVID & Post Infectious Syndrome ECHO

About

The University of Utah Project ECHO team will provide training, mentorship, and support to learners on the current best practices and evidence-based care management of patients with PASC (Long COVID) and Post Infectious Syndromes. The CDC and AAPM&R predict between ten to thirty percent of people who had COVID-19 will go on to develop Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), also known as Long COVID. Currently, between 3 - 10 million Americans are experiencing symptoms associated with post-viral syndrome.

This series aims to equip healthcare professionals, of varying skill levels and specialties, with adequate knowledge and tools to effectively approach and manage the care of patients with Long COVID without relying solely on Post-COVID Care Clinics. Applying what we know from other post-viral syndromes such as ME/CFS, early and informed interventions ensure disease manageability and improved patient outcomes.

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 on the University of Utah CME Website. 

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.
