EDS ECHO Training

What EDS ECHO Training Means for You

ECHO is a program developed by the Ehlers-Danlos Society to provide ongoing training and continued education for clinicians in the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of EDS, hEDS/HSD, and associated symptoms and conditions. It is the gold standard for EDS clinical training, and it is required of every independent doctor in the EDS Connective provider network.

 

What ECHO Teaches Providers 

 
How to diagnose EDS and hEDS/HSD accurately
 
Recognition and management off multi-systemic symptoms and comorbidities
 
When to refer for genetic testing and/or specialist care 
 
Case-based clinical decision making - learning through real patient cases with expert guidance
 
Latest research and evolving best practices 
 

Why It Matters to You

 
Accurate evaluations based on official criteria
 
Doctors who understand the full picture and how your symptoms are connected
 
Real-world, case-based expertise to identify patterns more quickly
 
Authority and experience that your primary care team can trust
 
A provider who believes you from the start

The independent providers in our network are trained through the Ehlers-Danlos Society's gold standard ECHO program, led by three of the world's leading EDS specialists, Dr. Alan Hakim, Dr. Clair Francomano, and Dr. Dacre Knight.

Your Experience

What to Expect from Your Provider

We designed the entire experience around what the EDS and hypermobility community told us they needed most — a provider who listens, understands, and delivers a clear answer.

 

They believe you from day one

Your provider starts from the understanding that your symptoms are real, your experience is valid, and your history matters. 

 

Completely asynchronous for a gentler experience

No appointment times, no travel required, no stressful waiting rooms. Complete your intake evaluation at your own pace from wherever you are. Your provider communicates with you via asynchronous (non-live) video and chat.

 

An official, thorough, diagnostic evaluation

Your provider reviews your individual case against the official hEDS and HSD diagnostic criteria, point by point, based on the information you provide. Results are delivered with detailed documentation for you and your care team.

 

Results in as little as days, not decades

On average, it takes over 20 years to receive a hEDS diagnosis.1 EDS Connective delivers the evaluation results from your provider in as little as 3-5 days.
