One Health ECHOs

One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach—working at the local, regional, national, and global levels—with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes by recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment. Learn more about the CDC approach.

By using videoconferencing technology, the ECHO Model™ connects groups of community providers with specialists at teleECHO clinics. The sessions, designed around case-based learning and mentorship, help local workers gain the expertise required to provide needed services. Providers gain skills and confidence; specialists learn new approaches for applying their knowledge; fostering an "all teach, all learn" approach.

Michigan Center for Rural Health is pleased to partner with Public Health Prepared, Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, and the Region V Public Health Training Center to offer a dynamic educational discussion-based series with infectious disease experts and veterinarians. This educational series is offered to provide knowledge and spread awareness regarding One Health challenges in Michigan.
