Applicants are expected to provide 12–24 one-hour long sessions (minimum of one time per month) in at least one of the topic areas. Applicants are welcome to apply to provide both mental health and maternal health series.

Project ECHOs should focus on:

• Providing education and networking for participating rural clinicians and their care teams.
• Providing an open participation model.
• Sharing responsive knowledge that is adaptable to rural community and clinician needs in underserved and hard-to-reach patient populations.
• Maintaining a focus on case-based learning that is specific to rural populations. Participants will learn from expert-led didactic presentations and discuss their own patient cases to gain new skills and implement evidence-based recommendations.
