Training will be delivered using the ECHO™ Model. This is an all teach-all learn tele-mentoring model that uses case-based learning and a hub-and-spoke knowledge-sharing approach. Expert teams (master Trainers) use videoconferencing to conduct learning sessions with participants throughout the state. The goal is to reduce health disparities, especially in traditionally underserved areas, by closing gaps in access and increasing workforce capacity to provide the application of best practices and needed services (hsc.unm.edu/echo). The principles of this model are: (a) amplification, using technology to leverage scarce resources, (b) best practices to reduce disparity, (c) case-based learning to master complex issues, and (d) data to monitor outcomes (hsc.unm.edu/echo).
