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 EDS Connective provider.

 

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
 

EDS ECHO is led by Dr. Alan Hakim, Dr. Clair Francomano, and Dr. Dacre Knight - three of the world's leading EDS and hypermobility specialists.

Provider Credentials

Qualified. Credentialed. Ready for You.

Every EDS Connective provider meets a rigorous set of qualifications — not just to practice medicine, but to practice it well in this highly specialized space.

 

Board-Certified MDs and DOs

All EDS Connective providers hold a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree and are board-certified in their specialty. You are in the hands of fully credentialed physicians.

 

Licensed in All 50 States

No matter where you live in the United States, you can access EDS Connective. Our providers are licensed to practice across all 50 states — no referrals, no geographic barriers.

 

ECHO Certified

Every provider completes the Ehlers-Danlos Society's ECHO certification program before conducting evaluations. This is not optional. It is a non-negotiable requirement for every provider on our platform.

 

Ongoing Education Required

EDS research is evolving. Our providers stay current with the latest developments in hypermobility, connective tissue disorders, and diagnostic criteria — so your evaluation reflects the best available evidence.

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 without putting you through the wringer to get it.

 

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. You will not have to fight to be heard.

 

Completely asynchronous for a gentler experience

No appointment times, no waiting rooms, no doctor's office anxiety. Complete your evaluation at your own pace from wherever you are. Your provider reviews everything thoroughly, communicates with you via video and chat, and explains your diagnosis.

 

An official, thorough, authoritative diagnosis

Your provider reviews your individual case against the official hEDS and HSD diagnostic criteria, point by point. The result is a clear determination with complete documentation you and your care team can trust.

 

Results in days, not decades

The traditional path to an hEDS diagnosis takes an average of over 20 years. EDS Connective delivers your evaluation results in days. You've waited long enough - it's time to get answers so you can move forward.
