Active & Completed Initiatives
ECHO
A low-barrier learning environment designed to increase knowledge and shared understanding of a topic while supporting relationship-building, discussion, and the exchange of best practices across disciplines and care settings.
Program Duration: Varies
During each ECHO, MNPQC hosts a series of virtual sessions delivered using the Project ECHO platform. Each session follows the ECHO model of “all teach, all learn” and typically includes brief didactic content, case examples or experience sharing, facilitated discussion, and peer learning across clinical, public health, and community perspectives.

Participation is flexible, and attendees may join one or multiple sessions based on interest. Each session will include a brief evaluation at the end.
Participating in an MNPQC ECHO includes the following benefits:
- Networking and cross-collaboration with other organizations and subject matter experts
- Sharing of educational materials and resources
- An introduction to emerging topics relevant to the perinatal space
- Certificates of completion
Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a virtual model that supports shared learning and collaboration across diverse care settings. In our perinatal work, the ECHO structure allows us to extend education beyond traditional quality improvement programs and reach a broader, multidisciplinary audience involved in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care.
