About This Program

The Pediatric Long COVID ECHO will provide training, mentorship, and support to pediatric primary care providers and allied health professionals on emerging best practices and evidence-based care for pediatric patients with Long COVID.

The Pediatric Long COVID ECHO will address capacity, access, and equity of care for vulnerable and underrepresented populations of children, children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, children in rural communities, and children who are uninsured or underinsured. This ECHO will also enable earlier interventions and empower primary care and community providers to diagnose, treat, and manage long COVID.

  • Mental health considerations
  • Integrative health treatments
  • Neurocognitive sequala
  • POTS/dysautonomia
