We'd like to invite you to join an exciting new project which aims to build a virtual community of practice, expand knowledge, and increase capacity to manage clients with mental illness and/or addiction in primary care. The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health has partnered with the University of Toronto to develop ECHO (Extension of Clinical Health Outcomes) Ontario Mental Health at CAMH and the University of Toronto (ECHO Ontario Mental Health). This project is fully funded through the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, and does not require any payment from primary care provider sites. It is fully accredited as Continuing Medical Education, so participants will receive CME credits at no cost.
Due to increased demand, ECHO Ontario Mental Health at CAMH and U of T is currently accepting registration for approximately 10 new participant sites starting immediately, and will be taking registration for additional sites for the September 2016 cycle.
We have attached an information package, with instructions for how to apply to become a spoke site with ECHO Ontario Mental Health. We will be accepting applicants on a first come, first serve basis, with a deadline for registration in this cycle of Feb. 26, 2016. If we are unable to accommodate all the applications, your application will be put in a priority queue and you will be accepted into the next round of sessions, beginning in September. You will not be required to re-submit a registration form at that time.
Please feel free to visit our website for more information: https://www.porticonetwork.ca/web/echo-on-mh.
We are looking forward to your participation, and would be happy to discuss any questions you might have. To contact us, please feel free to email us at echo_ontariomentalhealth@camh.ca.
