EFF ECHO Programs for Endocrine Fellows
Monthly Online Meetings
The EFF ECHO Programs for Endocrine Fellows are a collaboration between EFF and Project ECHO which offers a monthly virtual learning platform for fellows who are interested in expanding their learning. They are designed for all Endocrinology fellows, young investigators, and early career physicians.
Our ECHO programs offer fellows a community to expand their professional network with peers who have similar interests, as well as with leaders in the field. Session content evolves based on fellow case discussions and topic requests. Session recordings are available to registered participants.
Building on the success of our Bone Health ECHO for Fellows, we are launching two new ECHO programs in the Spring of 2025. Please check back for more details.

EFF ECHO Programs Format

Fellows, young investigators, and early career physicians are encouraged to share a case to receive feedback and treatment suggestions from their peers and program faculty.
Participants must register for the iECHO platform and then complete an additional EFF registration form to participate. Those with incomplete registration forms will be removed from the EFF ECHO program.
