ECHO for Children and Youth with Epilepsy: Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an innovative healthcare program developed by the University of New Mexico to treat chronic and complex diseases in rural and underserved areas by supporting and expanding the primary care provider scope of practice.

ECHO Colorado will be launching spring of 2015 to support providers across Colorado and surrounding states. The University of Colorado and Children’s Hospital Colorado have partnered with the American Association of Pediatrics to offer ECHO for Children and Youth with Epilepsy (CYE) as the first ECHO Colorado topic. CYE ECHO, beginning March 3, 2015, is currently recruiting community healthcare providers who are interested in expanding their scope of practice specific to pediatric epilepsy.

During ECHO clinics, healthcare clinicians present de-identified cases using a case-based format by video conferencing equipment. Project ECHO specialists and other participants discuss patient cases and recommendations are made regarding diagnostic and treatment plans. CME credit is provided at no cost for participating (1hour = 1CME credit) conducted via teleconference. Please contact the CYE ECHO program coordinator, Kory Thomas at 303-724-8061 or korrine.thomas@ucdenver.edu to register and for more information.” [Source: Colorado Children’s Healthcare Access Program]
