Pediatrician Daniel Johnson discusses his article, "From isolation to innovation: the power of learning communities in health care." He reflects on the collaborative, case-based learning that makes medical training exciting and contrasts it with the professional isolation many physicians experience after graduation. To combat this, Daniel champions Project ECHO, a global telementoring model that creates virtual learning communities. He describes ECHO as "hospital rounds on Zoom," where an "all teach, all learn, all support" environment connects community practitioners with specialists to solve real-world patient cases, from the early days of AIDS to modern challenges like pediatric obesity. The conversation serves as a powerful call to action to formally integrate this model into the entire medical education system, ensuring clinicians remain part of a supportive, collaborative community throughout their careers.
