iECHO
Introduction
In 2018, the American Cancer Society and the ECHO Institute at the University of New Mexico partnered to launch the first American Cancer Society-led ECHO. Project ECHO was first launched at the University of New Mexico by Dr. Sanjeev Arora in 2003. Since then, over 120,000 learners from 25,000 organizations in 158 countries have participated in an ECHO session.

About Project ECHO and the ECHO model
Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a lifelong learning and guided practice model that revolutionizes medical education and exponentially increases workforce capacity to provide best-practice specialty care and reduce health disparities.
The heart of the ECHO model is its hub-and-spoke knowledge-sharing networks, led by expert teams who use multi-point videoconferencing to conduct virtual clinics with community providers. In this way, primary care doctors, nurses, and other clinicians learn to provide excellent specialty care to people with cancer in their own communities.
As the ECHO model continues to expand, it is helping to address some of the healthcare system’s most intractable problems, including disparities in access to quality care, rising costs, systemic inefficiencies, and unequal or slow diffusion of best practices. Across the United States and globally, policymakers are recognizing the potential of ECHO to exponentially expand workforce capacity to treat more patients sooner while using existing resources. At a time when the health care system is under mounting pressure to do more without spending more, this is critical.
