Initiative Goal:

Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine in partnership with Clinical Care Options is providing a Project ECHO for Migraine Prevention, a program to support community-based neurology clinicians and practices improve outcomes in patients living with migraine. 

Participants will meet virtually for one hour once per month September 2023 - August 2024 - meeting times to be finalized in Summer 2023.

What is Project ECHO? 

Project ECHO is a free, innovative tele-mentoring and tele-education “Hub-and-Spoke” outreach model that connects community clinicians or practices (“Spokes”) to a multidisciplinary and interprofessional neurology and QI specialty team ("Hub").
