A participant group consists of individuals who learn together, attending multiple sessions to complete the program’s curriculum. These groups are similar to cohorts within the same program, moving through the material at the same pace.
👉 Participant groups can be created based on:
📃 Different levels of understanding: For example, you might separate cohorts for physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, each with tailored content according to their expertise.
🕐 Session timings: Groups can be organized according to when sessions are scheduled. For instance, one cohort might meet every Monday from 9 AM to 10 AM, while another might meet on Saturday and Sunday from 9 AM to 10 PM. Each schedule requires a distinct learner group.

Here’s how you can create Participant Group:
Participant groups are how you organize your ECHO program into participants and sessions. You may have one or multiple Participant Groups active at any time.
<aside> 💡 Participants Groups (Cohorts) help you organize a large program into a smaller, manageable structure. For example, you could have one participant group that meets every Wednesday and another that meets every Friday.
You could also have a program where only one participant group/cohort is active at a time, and every few months, the participant group 'graduates', and new participants join a new cohort.
iECHO provides a simple and flexible way to structure the program in the most effective way possible. If you need any advice or suggestions on how to structure your program, feel free to contact your Account Representative.

iECHO will direct you to create a Participant Group after you’ve created your program.
