What Is Project ECHO?
Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a collaborative learning program that aims to address healthcare disparities through affordable and highly effective interventions. The program was designed to provide patients with access to the specialty care they need, when they need it, for complex and treatable conditions—particularly in underserved or remote areas. VHAN’s Project ECHO sessions focus on addressing depression and anxiety in the primary care setting.

How Does It Work?
Didactic Education & Support
Subject matter experts help manage patient cases and offer mentoring, guidance, feedback and didactic education.
Collaborative Live Sessions
The one-hour sessions have a dedicated time for Q&A about the didactic presentation, followed by a case presentation and discussion. Sessions are conducted through video conferencing.
