Building Regional Expertise: Perspectives from Show-Me ECHO Participants

Melissa Warne-Griggs et al. Mo Med. 2020 May-Jun.

Abstract

This article highlights four primary care providers that practice in underserved areas in Missouri. Show-Me ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) provides colleagues opportunities for consultation and Continuing Medical Education (CME) around particular conditions. Through their participation, these providers have 1) enhanced their comfort and skill in diagnosis and treatment, 2) become important regional resources for patients and other providers, and 3) improved access to specialty services in their community.
