Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an innovative hub and spoke telementoring program that connects a multidisciplinary team of experts (hub) with primary care providers in local communities (spokes). Together, the experts and the primary care providers build a virtual “knowledge network” whereby participants learn from each other gaining access to evidence-based and capacity-building resources. The AAP HPV ECHO monthly sessions include a brief presentation by an HPV expert, followed by participants presenting their quality improvement (QI) work for discussion and problem-solving guidance. Through regular attendance, participants receive mentorship and grow their QI skills and self-efficacy around HPV vaccination.
