About
The Palliative Care ECHO
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 on the topic being presented in the session. If you are having trouble diagnosing a patient or need help determining a treatment plan, you may consider submitting a case.
