Providence Alaska Project ECHO Dementia telementoring clinic launched in January 2022, to build and scale dementia capable care in rural and underserved areas in Alaska. Virtual education takes place in ‘all teach, all learn,’ 60-minute sessions twice monthly in a hub and spoke model. Each session or virtual “clinic” consists of a brief, topic-focused didactic followed by case-based learning in which an attending clinician presents a de-identified case and receives input from other spoke site clinicians and the expert panel. Didactics and consultation are guided by evidence-based best practices and provide free continuing education credits, as well as written recommendations to support dementia care. Modeled on the University of Washington Project ECHO and also co-led by doctors Nancy Isenberg and Kristoffer Rhoads, Providence Alaska Project ECHO Dementia is actively recruiting sites for participation.
