Project ECHO (Extensions for Community Health Outcomes) Ontario Skin and Wound offers evidence-based mentorship and case-based learning on skin and wound care at no cost to Ontario health care providers. Project ECHO is based on a Hub and Spoke model. A resource team (Hub) comprising of physicians, nurses and allied health providers provide community partners (Spokes), with guidance on patients with complex skin and wound care needs. Spokes are comprised of health care professionals from across the province interested in expanding their knowledge in wound care. Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits will be rewarded to physicians.
A Spoke can be one or more health providers gathered at:
- A Family Health Team - An Aboriginal Health Centre or a Community Health Centre - A Long-Term Care Home - A Hospital
- A Nursing Clinic
Each session is broadcast online via Zoom technology. To participate in Project ECHO Ontario Skin and Wound sessions, you will need an Internet enabled device capable of video conferencing such as any computer, laptop, tablet or mobile phone. Sessions will be held weekly on Wednesday afternoons, 2 pm to 4 pm.
