University of Vermont Project ECHO
University of Vermont Project ECHO Pediatric Mental Health: Complex Cases and Deeper Dives
This series will explore the diagnosis, treatment, and multidisciplinary care of pediatric patients with complex mental health presentations. The program will identify and teach collaborative strategies, best practices, screening tools, resources, and clinical pearls to apply to the primary care setting. The series will include the Project ECHO model essentials - brief didactics, case-based learning and group discussion – in a format designed to allow for deeper exploration of series topics. Woven throughout will be secondary themes of interdisciplinary collaboration, suicide prevention, and family-based care.
This program is offered at no cost to participants through a grant from the Vermont Department of Health.
Participants can receive CME credits for each learning session attended.
General questions about the University of Vermont’s Project ECHO can be directed to Patti.Smith-Urie@uvm.edu, clinical/topic-specific questions can be directed to Haley.McGowan@uvmhealth.org.
