What is telementoring for substance use disorder?

Telementoring...

…involves leveraging technology to coach and train others in best practices, with the intent of building individual and workforce capacity. Telementoring eliminates the limitations imposed by physical and geographic proximity between mentors and mentees.  At C-STAT, we utilize the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model as our primary mode of telementoring.
