AAP PEHSU ECHO Registration |
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is implementing a national Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) for reproductive and pediatric environmental health, funded (in part) by the cooperative agreement FAIN: U61TS000237-04 from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
The AAP PEHSU ECHO serves as a forum for health care professionals to learn how to identify, diagnose and treat environmentally-related health conditions in children. This project uses the ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) model, a tele-mentoring hub and spoke platform that leverages technology to bring together specialty care providers at academic medical centers (hub) and primary care providers in local communities (spokes). The AAP PEHSU ECHO builds a bi-directional virtual knowledge network whereby participants learn from experts and each other, gaining access to evidence-based and capacity-building resources. Each ECHO session includes a brief presentation by a national expert, followed by in-depth, practice-based presentations for discussion, problem-solving guidance and recommendations. All attendees are invited to share and actively participate.
Sessions will occur beginning in January 2018 and will last one hour. The frequency of the sessions is to be determined.
