We will include QUAN studies (or QUAN component of MM studies) conducted with healthcare professionals participating in ECHO as mentees, including registered and allied health healthcare professionals (e.g., community health providers, long-term care providers, pharmacists, physicians, psychologists, nurse practitioners, nutritionists, physiotherapists, social workers, and occupational therapists), and regardless of their practice area (e.g., family medicine, geriatric care, addiction and psychiatric services, pain management, and pediatric care). Given that the ECHO program continuously operates and that participation in each videoconferencing session for an entire curriculum is not required, studies in which mentees did not complete the program will be included in this review. We will exclude studies that involve pre-licensure healthcare professional students only, since entry-to-practice competencies may differ from the standards and levels of competencies in clinical practice.
