Not heard of Project ECHO® before?
Project ECHO® was originally developed in 2003 by the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, USA, to build the capacity of primary care providers and to increase access to specialist-level care in rural and underserved populations.
The ECHO model has since spread to 180 countries and delivered over 3,700 ECHO Programs worldwide.
SAPMEA is the first ECHO Hub established in South Australia to deliver the ECHO model to our local healthcare community.
Learn more about the global Project ECHO® movement on the ECHO Institute website.
