Project ECHO
Project ECHO® is an online lifelong learning and guided practice model that revolutionizes medical education and exponentially increases workforce capacity to provide best practice specialty care and reduce health disparities through its hub-and-spoke knowledge sharing networks.
To spread the knowledge of palliative care and attain more expertise in the medical field, TIPS collaborated with ECHO India to widen the horizon and thus initiated TIPS-ECHO.
