01 / EDUCATION
Clinical learning series
Multi-post educational series, case discussions, visual explainers, pathology spotlights, measurement reviews, and topic-based campaigns.
COLLABORATE / ECHOLOGISTS
Let’s build better echo education together.
ECHOLOGISTS collaborates with educators, clinicians, organizations, patient advocates, and creators who share a commitment to clear, responsible, and clinically meaningful cardiovascular education.
01 / WHY COLLABORATE
Strong educational work often comes from combining different perspectives.
Echocardiography connects anatomy, physiology, image acquisition, measurement, interpretation, communication, and patient experience. A meaningful educational project may benefit from more than one of those perspectives.
ECHOLOGISTS welcomes thoughtful collaborations that help learners better understand what they are seeing, why it matters, and how the information fits into the broader clinical picture.
Every collaboration is reviewed for educational value, scope, accuracy, accessibility, and alignment with the ECHOLOGISTS platform.

04 / PROCESS
A clear process from idea to publication.
Share the idea
Introduce the topic, educational goal, intended audience, preferred format, proposed contributors, and any relevant timing.
Define the scope
ECHOLOGISTS reviews the proposed role of each collaborator, available source material, clinical boundaries, approvals, and expected deliverables.
Develop the content
The project may move through drafting, image selection, fact review, design, accessibility review, and revisions before publication.
Publish with clarity
Final credits, collaboration labels, disclosures, captions, timing, and distribution are confirmed before the content is released.
05 / STANDARDS
Educational quality comes before reach.
Clinical responsibility
Content should be educationally accurate, appropriately qualified, and clear about its limitations. It must not present general content as individualized medical advice.
Editorial integrity
Collaborations should identify relevant contributors, disclose meaningful relationships, respect source material, and avoid misleading claims or unsupported guarantees.
06 / CLINICAL MATERIAL
Patient privacy and authorization are non-negotiable.
Any case, image, video, cine loop, report excerpt, or clinical scenario proposed for collaboration must be appropriately de-identified and submitted by someone authorized to share it.
Contributors are responsible for ensuring that all required patient, institutional, professional, and copyright permissions have been obtained before material is submitted to ECHOLOGISTS.
Do not send identifiable patient information through ordinary email, public comments, social media messages, or general website forms.
07 / FIT
A strong collaboration should add something meaningful.
Clear educational purpose
The project should help the audience understand a concept, case, process, perspective, or patient experience more clearly.
Relevant expertise
Contributors should bring appropriate knowledge, lived experience, clinical perspective, or educational value to the topic.
Mutual respect
Communication, credit, review, scheduling, and revisions should be handled professionally and respectfully.
Audience value
Collaboration should not exist only for promotion. It should provide a clear benefit to learners, professionals, patients, or caregivers.
08 / WHAT TO INCLUDE
Make the first message useful.
A collaboration inquiry should include:
- your name, role, organization, or platform;
- the proposed topic or project;
- the intended audience;
- why the topic fits ECHOLOGISTS;
- the preferred format;
- the proposed timeline;
- the materials or expertise you would contribute;
- any funding, sponsorship, commercial relationship, or conflict of interest; and
- links to relevant work where available.
Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee acceptance. ECHOLOGISTS may decline projects because of timing, capacity, fit, duplication, legal concerns, editorial priorities, or clinical limitations.
