Description
Summary:A diabetes education program for healthcare professionals evolved out of a series of discussions among healthcare providers. This group realized the importance and the necessity of developing a current knowledge base for themselves, their clients, and their clients’ families. The target audiences for this program were physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and dietitians who could be eligible to work toward becoming a certified diabetes educator. This article discusses the process used to develop and conduct these workshops. The lessons learned during this project are provided for consideration by others seeking to address common concerns and challenges in other areas of clinical practice.
