Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a movement to amplify the capacity to provide best-practice care for underserved people all over the world. It does this through the use of technology, to leverage scarce resources and share best practices.
The GCDI program launched three ECHO programs in June 2020: the Colorectal Cancer Management (CCM) ECHO, facilitated by Dr. Kingham at MSK and Dr. Alatise at OAUTHC; the ARGO Pathology ECHO, facilitated by Drs. Marcia Edelweiss and Peter Ntiamoah at MSK, with Pathology partners at OAUTHC and Lagos University Training Hospital (LUTH); and the Portuguese-speaking Pathology ECHO for participants in Mozambique, Angola and Cabo Verde, led by Dr. Edelweiss with collaborations from the Brazilian Society of Pathology, Portuguese specialists and Brazilian pathologists that are MSK alumni.
The participation and reach of these ECHO programs have been significant.
List of current ECHOs:
- CCM ECHO Webinars
- ARGO Pathology ECHO Webinars
- PALOP-ECHO Portuguese Webinar
- Breast ECHO, launched in 2021
- Histology ECHO, launched in 2021
- RADPath ECHO, launched in 2022
