Project ECHO is a model of regular, interactive, online learning that provides access to professional advice, and aims to support and empower health, education, and social service professionals to practice at the top of their scope supporting people with complex, chronic, and common conditions. The Tennessee Dementia ECHO series aims to support primary care providers working with older adults in the community setting. The health system will soon be overwhelmed as more and more Americans age and many develop dementia. We hope to address this gap by delivering mentoring and advice tailored to you and those you serve. To make this series as valuable as possible, we need to know what gaps exist from your perspective.
