Mental Health ECHO
Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a well-established model pioneered from the University of New Mexico. Project ECHO has had a national and international reach for the past 19 years. The ECHO model breaks down the barriers between specialist and primary care. Our experts at SUNY Upstate will function as the hub to deliver education, knowledge and best practices to the primary care clinicians in the Central New York region and beyond. Using videoconferencing technology, we will be connecting our team of interdisciplinary experts with primary care providers. By utilizing this teleconferencing technology, we are able to enhance medical resources in rural and medically underserved areas in Upstate and Central New York.
The REACH ECHO sessions are taking place on Wednesday’s at 12 pm starting from September 11th 2024. No registration is needed to attend the session, but we will ask you for your name, institution and email in order to provide educational credits. Each REACH ECHO session is awarded 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ and 1 contact hour for Social Works.
