Dermatology ECHO - an innovative solution to address limited access to dermatology expertise.

CONCLUSIONS: As specialty medical evidence-based recommendations continue to increase, providers practicing in isolated rural and underserved areas may find it challenging to keep up with the new knowledge. Dermatology ECHO creates a community of practice that allows participating providers to discuss complex cases, receive specific guidance and mentoring, and participate in CME presentations. The case presented here supports the authors\' observations that Dermatology ECHO is an appropriate platform for learning evidence-based medical knowledge via videoconferencing technology.
