APAL ECHO Virtual CME on adult behavioral health and substance use concerns

What is APAL ECHO?

APAL ECHO is a set of virtual learning series offered by APAL in partnership with UVA Health. Each series has a specialized focus, and these no-cost education opportunities are designed for Virginia primary care clinicians to learn critical, practical skills in adult behavioral health and/or substance use. All APAL ECHO series offer CME credit. Prescribing clinicians can join one or all sessions available.

About the ECHO Model

The heart of the revolutionary ECHO Model™ is its hub-and-spoke knowledge-sharing networks. This format allows primary care clinicians to learn and share their own best practices for how they provide the best care to their patients.
