Supporting Patients at High Risk for Breast Cancer:
Insights for Primary Care and OB/GYN

 

Patients at high risk for breast cancer often encounter long wait times and limited access to specialty care. Primary care providers play a critical role in identifying these patients early and guiding their ongoing management. This ECHO series is designed to strengthen your ability to assess risk, counsel patients and partner effectively with breast cancer specialists — all within the primary care setting. You’ll also learn how to use eConsults to obtain timely specialty input, improve care coordination, and reduce unnecessary referrals and patient travel.

AUDIENCE
Primary care providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) and OB/GYN are the primary audience for this series. Medical residents and nurses at these offices are welcome to register.

SCHEDULE
Six weekly ECHO sessions held virtually
Mondays 12:00 - 1:00 PM MT
