Thank you for your interest in the American Academy of Pediatrics Collaborative for Adolescent Reproductive Health Improvement: Navigating Growth (CARING) ECHO!

This ECHO aims to enhance the ability of pediatricians to deliver routine and person-centered reproductive health care to children and adolescents.

Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an innovative telementoring program, designed to create knowledge networks by connecting learners with an expert team through using brief lectures and case‐based presentations. A one-hour ECHO session consists of a short lecture (approx. 20 minutes) followed by a case presentation (5 minutes) and discussion.

This ECHO will run from April 2025 to August 2025 on Mondays from 9:00 am PST/10:00 am MST/11:00 am CST/12:00 pm EST. The ECHO sessions will be held on the following dates:

• April 21, 2025
• May 19, 2025
• June 23, 2025
• July 21, 2025
• August 18, 2025

This ECHO has an Optional Quality Improvement (QI) component and will be conducted every other month that will focus on aggregate data review, PDSA presentation and discussion, and quality improvement strategies. Individuals engaging in the quality improvement track are eligible for 25 MOC Part 4 credits and will participate in the monthly educational sessions listed above, in addition to monthly chart review, monthly PDSA development and implementation, one-on-one meeting with the quality improvement coach, and attendance at 3 quality improvement sessions The ECHO QI sessions will be held on the following dates at 9:00 am PST/10:00 am MST/11:00 am CST/12:00 pm EST:

• April 14, 2025 | Kick-off Call
• May 12, 2025
• July 28, 2025

All ECHO sessions occur virtually using Zoom video conference technology. Participants are expected to join using video as this makes for a more interactive and impactful session. Only the lecture presentations are recorded for both synchronous and asynchronous observations.
