Project SCOPE

2022

Project SCOPE is a national training initiative intended to build provider capacity and confidence in applying evidence-based practices in screening, monitoring, and interdisciplinary support for children and families diagnosed with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) or neonatal opiate withdrawal syndrome (NOWS), or who are suspected of being impacted by opioid use and related trauma exposure. The WVU Center for Excellence in Disabilities (CED) has received funding to implement this national training initiative using the Project ECHO virtual professional development model. Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a collaborative model of education and care management that empowers clinicians to implement best practices wherever they live. The ECHO model increases access to rural and underserved areas by providing knowledge and support. Project SCOPE uses a model where interdisciplinary team members from education, medical and community settings collaborate to provide didactic and case presentations to provide an opportunity to problem solve with peers across the state
