DIS ECHO
DIS ECHO - Connect with other public health professionals to enhance your knowledge of communicable diseases, investigations, and reporting while increasing your state resource base through a feeling of community and partnership with your peers.
There is no cost associated with participation.
DIS sessions are every 2nd and 4th Thursday at 11:00 am to noon via Zoom.
DIS Case Management Request
Do you have a case you would like to submit? The submission of cases for presentation and discussion or consultation is a key component in the Project ECHO model and critically important for knowledge building and sharing. We welcome you to submit any of your communicable disease cases. You will receive input and recommendations from your peers and subject matter experts. There is something to learn from every case!
Please fill out the DIS case submission form. Every section does not need to be complete. If you have any questions, please contact stacie.pannell@umontana.edu.
