III. Core Approach and Methodology Seed Training Hub will primarily employ an innovative tele-mentoring and training approach:
Project ECHO Model: Leverage the innovative Project ECHO Model to deliver training and support, as exemplified by the EMS ECHO Initiative. This model connects healthcare professionals with medical experts via virtual sessions.
Case-Based Learning: Utilize deep dives into real emergency cases to break down critical decision-making and avoid common pitfalls, such as in the Clinical Pathologic Case (CPC) initiative.
Integrated Programs: Provide comprehensive programs that integrate training, resources, and support, as seen in the Perinatal & neonatal HOB Initiative.
Virtual Training: Offer virtual sessions to prepare future healthcare professionals, such as pre-interns.
IV. Key Initiatives and Programs The Seed Training Hub will continue and expand upon its foundational programs:
Clinical Pathologic Case (CPC): A deep dive into real emergency cases, focusing on critical decision-making, management strategies, and pathologic correlations.
Perinatal & neonatal HOB Initiative: An integrated perinatal and neonatal health program offering training, resources, and support to healthcare teams.
