Project ECHO® Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease Interdisciplinary ECHO Series
Founded on the principle of “All Teach, All Learn,” Project ECHO® has evolved into a globally recognized model for collaborative learning and capacity building. Inspired by the medical rounds integral to a clinician’s residency, Project ECHO® creates an interactive environment where all participants including specialists, community practitioners, and support teams share knowledge, insights, and experiences.
As an extension of the Project ECHO® model, the Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease Interdisciplinary ECHO Series advances evidence-based best practices for hypertension and cardiovascular disease management. This free, interactive series addresses health-related social needs, strengthens community-clinical linkages, and improves patient outcomes through a team-based, interdisciplinary approach.
