Uganda Dermatology ECHO

About

The University of Utah has partnered with Medical Clinical Officers Professionals - Uganda (MCOP-U), Uganda Institution of Allied Health & Management (UIAHMS), and Allied Health Professionals Council (AHPC) to provide monthly opportunities for continuing professional development (CPD) for primary care providers looking to enhance their knowledge of dermatology.  What started as a formal curriculum has transformed into an ECHO format, consisting of a didactic session followed by case review.  Cases are provided by audience members and group participation, both in terms of generating diagnostic and treatment considerations, is encouraged.

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.
