ECHO Colorado (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) offers a learning platform that provides healthcare professionals the opportunity to be part of a community where experts and peers share knowledge and experiences using technology—not proximity—to connect. Live ECHO series are always free and combine the interactive learning and case-based sharing aspects of in-person training with the improved access and convenience of connecting virtually.
Regularly scheduled, online ECHO sessions create an “all teach, all learn" collaborative where specialists and frontline clinicians focus on a particular clinical or public health-related topic. ECHO makes expertise accessible, reducing
healthcare disparities across the state.
Most ECHOs offer free continuing education credit.
All teach. All learn.
ECHO participants engage in a virtual community with peers where they share knowledge, guidance and support. As a result, our collective understanding of how to disseminate and implement best practices continuously improves and expands.
