Expanding Hepatitis Care Through Shared Expertise
The Viral Hepatitis Project ECHO brings together healthcare providers, public health professionals, and subject matter experts to strengthen the statewide response to hepatitis C. Through case-based learning and expert-led discussions, participants gain practical knowledge to improve screening, diagnosis, treatment, and linkage to care. This collaborative model helps build local capacity, especially in underserved areas, by democratizing access to specialized expertise.
Whether you’re new to hepatitis care or expanding your practice, we invite you to join this learning community.
Where Did Project ECHO Come From?
Launched in 2003, Project ECHO grew out of one doctor’s vision. Sanjeev Arora, M.D., a social innovator and liver disease specialist at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center in Albuquerque, was frustrated that he could serve only a fraction of the hepatitis C patients in the state. He wanted to serve as many patients with hepatitis C as possible, so he created a no cost, virtual mentoring platform and mentored community providers across New Mexico in how to treat the condition. The ECHO model is a telementoring, guided practice model where the participating clinician retains responsibility for managing the patient. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that hepatitis C care provided by Project ECHO trained community providers resulted in outcomes equal to those provided by specialists at a university.
