Project ECHO - Emergency Medicine and Toxicology

Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes)

Project ECHO began in 2003 at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center. Project ECHO offers a low cost, scable solution that allows healthcare workers in underserved areas to collaborate and learn from teams of specialists to provide best-practice care for their patients.  The ECHO model uses videoconference technology to connect providers in underserved communities ("spokes") with teams of specialists and experts at regional, national and global centers ("hubs") for long-term tele-mentoring, collaboration, and case-based learning on urgent social topics and conditions.  Project ECHO aims to reach one billion lives by 2025.
