Pediatric Project ECHO^® for Pain: implementation and mixed methods evaluation of a virtual medical education program to support interprofessional pain management in children and youth.

Pediatric pain is a complex health challenge requiring a multi-modal management approach. It is critical that healthcare providers (HCPs) have access to ongoing, flexible education and mentorship specific to pediatric pain.

Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (Project ECHO®) is a model for delivering online HCP education and cultivating a virtual community of practice.
