Sanjeev Arora, MD, MACP, FACG is the Director and Founder of Project ECHO. He is a Distinguished and Regents’ Professor of Medicine with tenure in the Department of Internal Medicine at University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center.
Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) dramatically improves both capacity and access to specialty care for rural and underserved populations by linking expert inter-disciplinary specialist teams with primary care clinicians through teleECHO™ clinics, in which the experts mentor primary care clinicians to help them manage their patient cases and share their expertise via mentoring, guidance, feedback and didactic education. This helps rural clinicians develop knowledge and self-efficacy so they can adopt research findings and deliver best practice care for complex and chronic health conditions.
