Project ECHO, which stands for Extension of Community Health Outcomes, follows an “all teach, all learn” model of knowledge dissemination and capacity building, exchanging knowledge between academic health science centres and frontline community care partners. It facilitates the sharing of knowledge in multiple directions: from experts to primary care providers; between primary care providers; and from primary care providers to experts. This model is appropriate for all healthcare providers and has been successfully replicated throughout the United States, Canada and globally.
Each ECHO COE session will include a short presentation by specialists on specific topics of interest relevant to the care of older adults, followed by cases presented by the learning partners. Feedback and recommendations are provided by the health resource team as well as other learning partners.
Does it Cost Anything to Participate?
This project is fully funded by the Canadian Coalition for Seniors Mental Health through a grant from the Public Health Agency of Canada and is provided at no cost to participants. The ECHO COE program is accredited for continuing medical education credits by The College of Family Physicians of Canada.
