Project ECHO - Center for Substance Use Training & Telementoring

Project ECHO

Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes, or ECHO, is a telementoring model for building online communities of practice amongst healthcare providers or other professionals.  The ECHO model utilizes didactic and case-based learning to accelerate the spread of evidence-based practices. Participants engage in conversation and learning that is specific to a particular condition or best practice. ECHO programs are hosted by a ‘hub’ of subject matter experts, that provide both education and case consultation.

Benefits of ECHO

There are many benefits of participating in an ECHO program, including, but not limited to:

Engaging with top experts in the substance use disorder field
Building capacity at your organization to implement evidence-based practices
Staying up to date on emerging behavioral health research
Building a network of like-minded colleagues with which to consult
Obtaining technical assistance with your toughest implementation challenges to improve
your substance use services

The work of C-STAT would not be possible without the partnership of the Center for Research to Advance Community Health (ReACH) & the ECHO Institute.
