  • Project ECHO for School Nurses


    ​Dear School Nurses,,
      Project ECHO® is a lifelong learning and guided practice model that revolutionizes nursing education to provide best-practice specialty care and reduce health disparities. ECHO is led by an expert team that uses multi-point videoconferencing to conduct virtual learning sessions comprised of a short didactic followed by case presentations. This video teleconferencing series, guided by experts, takes place over eleven bi-weekly modules (one-hour each) and will cover topics specific to school nurses, including:

    • Diabetes Management in Schools
    • Pediatric Seizure Disorders
    • Hypertension (new pediatric guidelines)
    • Asthma
    • Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) + CFRAFFT 2.0
    • Mental Health (depression/suicide prevention)
    • Dermatology: Safe at School? When to Refer
    • Return to Learn: Concussion Management
    • Brief Negotiated Interviews (BNI)
    • Motivational Interviewing (MI)
    • Practice Sessions using MI Techniques

    School nurse participants will be assigned a case that they will present to faculty and peers for direct feedback. Nurses must attend 80% of this series (9 out of 11 modules) for CNE credit.
