Project ECHO Programs
The purpose of Project ECHO Nevada is to increase the capacity of health care and education professionals to support the health, well-being and education of all Nevadans. We seek to offer an alternative to costly travel and long waits for individuals in need of access to specialty care or other services. Through this innovative telehealth model, case consultations with subject matter experts can improve care for patients and students by providers they know and trust. All programs are free to attend using Zoom video conferencing software and offering free CME/CEU for a variety of disciplines. We invite you to learn more about each of our programs below and register today to get involved!
