Project ECHO
For the seventh consecutive year, Migrant Clinicians Network is pleased to announce open registration for our Spanish language 2024 ECHO Diabetes series. Our ECHO Diabetes series consists of 6 consecutive sessions that will each address a specific diabetes self-management topic. Developed for healthcare team support staff that works directly with migrant and immigrant communities, including community health workers/promotores de salud, case managers, outreach workers, patient and community advocates, and health educators, the series will provide a more in-depth clinical and overall understanding of the disease process and ways to best manage a diabetes diagnosis and mitigate the many potential complications.
MCN’s 2024 ECHO Diabetes series incorporates the ECHO model, developed by the University of New Mexico, to facilitate discussions led by faculty, guest presenters, and participants themselves. As the series moves forward, participants will develop relationships with one another and with faculty members, have access to resources, guides, patient education materials, slides, and most importantly the knowledge of others’ experiences in their ongoing efforts to provide meaningful care around diabetes management in migrant and immigrant patient populations.
The 2024 ECHO Diabetes series will be facilitated by MCN’s Manager of Online Education and Evaluation, Martha Alvarado with Lois Wessel, DNP, FNP-BC serving as expert clinical staff. The series will have a number of clinical guest faculty who will provide in-depth education around various diabetes-related issues and concerns. Migrant Clinicians Network would like to encourage members of the healthcare team who work directly with patients in a Federally Qualified Health Center to apply.
