ECHO Idaho’s K12 School Nurses series offers a virtual platform for school nurses and allied health professionals to enhance their knowledge-base and skills, while simultaneously connecting them with colleagues and healthcare experts from across the state of Idaho.
Led by an interdisciplinary panel of experts specializing in school nursing, pediatrics, mental health, special education, and more, this series helps participants learn and implement best practices by engaging in interdisciplinary conversations and case-based learning.
