CASE PRESENTATIONS
Case presentations are truly the core of every ECHO session. During each ECHO session each participant who chooses to present will gain access to unique feedback and questions from a wide range of peers and experts in an all-teach, all-learn modality. The ECHO session facilitator will moderate the case presentation and discussion portion of every session to ensure all participants have a change to engage in the peer-to-peer learning.
