ECHO Hub established by USD School of Health Sciences

Overcoming the obstacles of distance and locally unavailable expertise is the objective of the ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) project, a videoconferencing case-based learning platform that can feed a knowledge-sharing network. A more specific ECHO goal is to create and foster telementoring between front line caregivers in rural and underserved settings with experts and other health care professionals who are able to share necessary information to improve patient and public health outcomes.
