ECHO: Heart Health Initiative @ UC San Diego

Health Professions. ECHO: Heart Health Initiative aims to promote awareness and understanding of cardiovascular health by educating students about heart-related diseases, risk factors, prevention, and the importance of early intervention. Through hands-on CPR and emergency response training, we hope to equip students with practical, lifesaving skills and the confidence to respond in critical situations. Additionally, we seek to expose students to the diverse fields within cardiology and cardiovascular health through professional connections, career exploration, and opportunities to learn about medicine, research, public health, and other related fields. Overall, our goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills to make a meaningful impact on their communities.
