Ensuring quality healthcare is offered in all corners of WV through virtual clinics

Furthering a commitment to improve quality healthcare services in every corner of West Virginia, Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, in partnership with Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes), will provide teleECHO™ training sessions at noon on the first Tuesday of each month.

“TeleECHO clinics offer interactive sessions between specialists and primary care providers who often serve rural patient population,” said Jennifer Plymale, director of the Robert C. Byrd Center for Rural Health. “These sessions allow rural providers to participate from their clinics, eliminating time away from their offices or their families.”

The clinics connect primary care providers from multiple locations with a team of specialists using low cost, multi-point videoconferencing. The providers present de-identified patient cases, and the specialists provide expertise on managing patients with chronic, common and complicated conditions. 

Primary care provider participation in teleECHO clinics is free and includes continuing medical education (CME) opportunities. 
  • Primary care providers interested in participating in these teleECHO clinics may contact Plymale by e-mail - plymale@marshall.edu
