What is Project ECHO®?

Project ECHO® makes specialized healthcare knowledge available to the masses by gathering local clinicians together with expert specialist teams in the setting of virtual teleECHO® sessions. Expert panels present brief lessons, and participating clinicians are given the opportunity to discuss actual patient case studies without identifiable information.

Our Program

The Own the Bone® Orthopaedic Bone Health ECHO® aims to grow and share bone health knowledge and skills among orthopedic providers in order to reduce the incidence of fragility fractures and positively impact bone health treatment. Each month, a panel of experts will host participants on a video conferencing platform (Zoom) to discuss current topics related to bone health and to initiate a dialogue around patient cases presented by participants. These virtual sessions are multidisciplinary and interactive, so participants are encouraged to learn but also to share their knowledge and experiences.

Target Audience

Orthopedic Providers, including surgeons, specialist physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.
