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.
