Minnesota Rare Disease Advisory Council ECHO Series – Prepare for Rare: Newborn Screening and Genetic Testing

Third Thursday of Each Month, Noon-1 p.m. CT

As a dedicated pediatrician or family medicine provider, you are at the front line of deciphering your patients’ symptoms. And if those symptoms don’t add up, it can be challenging to determine the next steps. And we are here to support you.

The Minnesota Rare Disease Advisory Council (MRDAC) is partnering with Stratis Health to launch a Project ECHO Rare Disease virtual tele-education series. This innovative, collaborative learning model will help care providers identify and refer patients with rare or complex symptoms for timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment, particularly in the context of newborn screening.

This iECHO series will feature:

  • Expert-led sessions: Learn from subject matter experts who will share insights and strategies for diagnosing complex conditions.
  • Composite case discussions: Use de-identified composite patient case studies to increase your experience with rare-disease diagnosis.
  • Networking opportunities: Connect with fellow providers facing similar challenges to foster a supportive community of practice.

Audience

Minnesota clinicians and care teams.
