Core Tip	The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases recommends Project Extension for Community Health Outcomes (ECHO). Project ECHO aims to move the knowledge not the patients. By bringing expertise to primary care physicians, patients from rural and underserved communities will benefit by alleviating the struggle associated with travel and appointment delays. The framework of this project can be used to manage other diseases that require specialty physician care that may not be feasible. Telemedicine represents the future of healthcare, its success will substantially reshape the healthcare delivery in developing countries and is pivotal for geographically isolated and underserved populations.
