Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Survivorship ECHO

The American Cancer Society (ACS) has developed an ECHO program to address the unmet long-term survivorship needs of survivors of pediatric, adolescent, and young adult cancers. The goal is for this ECHO program is to increase knowledge of late effects of pediatric, adolescent and young adult cancer and its treatments, create a supportive knowledge network of multi-disciplinary providers who care for survivors of pediatric, adolescent and young adult cancers, provide telementoring to increase primary care providers’ capacity to identify appropriate survivorship care strategies for their patients, and employ case-based guided practice to create learning loops to allow for mastery of complex medical issues regarding survivorship

Health Equity & Caregiving: Meeting the Needs of African American/Black Caregivers ECHO

The overall goal of this ECHO Series is to educate members of the cancer care team on the unique needs of African American/Black caregivers. Learning objectives include a) defining and demonstrating knowledge of health equity, health inequalities, and social determinants of health in the context of cancer caregiving; b) mobilizing leaders in healthcare to engage in policy, systems, and environmental change activities in support of health equity and caregiving; and c) leverage partnerships (locally or state-wide/across-state) and collaborations to advance health equity and caregiving.

Protected: LGBTQ+ and Cancer Care Through the Primary Care Lens ECHO 

The American Cancer Society is proud to present this ECHO series in part through funding support provided by Merck & Co., Inc. This ECHO pilot project has been developed to collaborate with academic institutions across 5 states to address the unique needs of the LGBTQ+ population in primary care settings. The content of the ECHO will primarily focus on increasing cancer prevention, screening and early detection that is more inclusive and sensitive to the unique needs and barriers faced by members of the LGBTQ+ community. The goals of this project are for multidisciplinary teams (primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, medical assistants, and any other ancillary staff) to enhance the quality care for this marginalized population. Teams will be challenged to increase cancer screening along with providing a welcoming and safe place to receive care. The six ECHO sessions will cover communication, shared decision making, HPV related cancers, Cervical and breast cancer screening for gender diverse patients and colon cancer screening. Additionally, the 5-state pilot will encourage cross-state collaboration and best practice sharing as teams develop a more inclusive cancer prevention and early detection care model.
