Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a direct-to-provider virtual education program ("AF and EKG Interpretation Project ECHO") for primary care providers who manage patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Will participants have improvement in knowledge and confidence in managing patients with atrial fibrillation after program completion? 2. Will quality and performance metrics improve at the patient level for program participants? Participants will be asked to: * Participate in 12 hours of virtual education sessions over twelve weeks via Zoom. * Complete a knowledge and confidence assessment online before the program starts and after its completion.
