The Weitzman Institute is currently enrolling for a number of ECHO programs to offer additional support from expert faculty and a community of peers in these challenging topic areas. 

Each ECHO program consists of regular videoconferencing sessions that meet via Zoom and use case-based learning to connect participants from around the country to a panel of interdisciplinary expert faculty members. During each session the faculty team will deliver a brief and informative didactic followed by a participant-led case discussion where the faculty will provide helpful and personalized feedback to the participant. Each ECHO takes on a similar learning structure, but they all have a different content focus tailored to the needs of each unique learning community. 

• Weitzman ECHO Complex Care Management connects nurses to a team of faculty to assist nurses in practicing to the top of their license and help them provide high-quality, person-centered care to patients.
• Weitzman ECHO Pain connects primary care providers with a multidisciplinary team of pain specialists to improve the care of patients with chronic pain through a trauma-informed lens with a focus on safe opioid reduction strategies.
• Weitzman ECHO MAT provides prescribers, behavioral health providers, and other members of the substance use disorder care team with the support and advice needed to manage their patients with opioid dependence with buprenorphine.
