Opioid ECHO

Prescribers & Dispensers Schedule

The OUD ECHO Prescriber & Dispensers is an online Tele ECHO program designed to connect primary care teams with inter-disciplinary specialist teams to spread knowledge, on how to manage, treat and provide best care practice for complex chronic health conditions with a focus on addiction, and opioid use disorder (OUD) diagnosis.

OUD ECHO Prescribers & Dispensers clinic begins, January 8, 2025 through December 10, 2025 and will meet every other Wednesday from 12pm to 1:30pm EST. To attend any sessions of the OUD ECHO Prescribers & Dispensers you need only to register one time. You will receive automatic reminders before each session starts. There is no cost to join, and you can earn free continuing education credits (CME).

Case-based learning is central to the Project ECHO model. It is a way to gain input on challenging cases and creates an opportunity for everyone to learn how to apply evidence-based strategies in practice. If you would like to share a de-identified case, please submit your case through the iECHO Platform.
