PROJECT ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a virtual training model that connects health care providers and paraprofessionals with interdisciplinary experts through videoconferencing. The program offers expert-led presentations and participants present cases for team discussion for ongoing learning to enhance ADHD care across Manitoba.

Join us beginning February 7 for this 8‑week interactive program on childhood ADHD. This course is open to primary care providers who are currently treating pediatric clients/​patients with ADHD and are seeking to collaborate with others in their treatment planning. Participants may register for all 8 weeks, or a session-by-session basis.

Participants are required to bring a short ADHD case for discussion that can be explored by session experts and participants for ongoing care strategies and recommendations.
