About the IUI ECHO Center
The IU Indianapolis ECHO Center uses the Project ECHO model to create a peer-to-peer, virtual learning collaborative that increases workforce capacity. Rather than moving patients, ECHO moves knowledge and helps more patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
Each session features a didactic presentation shared by a subject matter expert and a de-identified case presentation shared by a participating ECHO learner. Didactic presentations offer timely guidance on best practices in care, while case presentations allow participants to gather recommendations on clinical care and resources to best serve their patients. Presenting a patient case during an ECHO may fulfill community education criteria and count towards a Community Based Bonus.
All healthcare professionals are invited to join ECHO’s virtual sessions as your schedule allows. You can join anytime throughout the programming year!
LGBTQ+ Health ECHO
The LGBTQ+ ECHO connects clinical and non-clinical providers who are interested in learning how to provide culturally competent and evidence-based care for LGBTQ+ patients. Each session includes a didactic presentation on a topic related to LGBTQ+ healthcare followed by a real de-identified patient case presentation.
Virtual sessions meet regularly on the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of each month from 2:30 – 4:00 pm Eastern via Zoom.

Point of Care Ultrasound ECHO
Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) utilizes portable, easy-to-use, and affordable ultrasound technology that allows for quicker discovery of medical issues right at the point of care. The addition of POCUS in clinical care settings improves provider accuracy, quality of care, and patient outcomes. Research demonstrates the benefits of POCUS technology for improving health equity particularly in rural settings. Practitioners who are both new and experienced at using POCUS are encouraged to join.
Virtual sessions meet on the 2nd & 4th Monday of each month from 12:00 – 1:00 pm Eastern via Zoom.
Join us for our upcoming didactic topics:
- January 8, 2024 | Vascular POCUS
- January 22, 2024 | Gallbladder POCUS // Liver POCUS // Small Bowel POCUS
