Course Description
This comprehensive continuing education course provides an evidence-based update on diabetes management specifically designed for interprofessional healthcare teams, including physical therapists, occupational therapists, and nurses. Drawing upon the most current clinical practice guidelines and landmark clinical trials, the course addresses the full spectrum of diabetes care from accurate diagnosis and classification through pharmacologic management, complication prevention, technology utilization, and team-based collaborative care.
With up to 80% of patients in outpatient physical therapy having diabetes or significant risk factors, and nurses across virtually every practice setting regularly managing patients requiring insulin therapy and glucose monitoring, this course equips allied health professionals with a sophisticated understanding of contemporary evidence and emerging best practices.
The course emphasizes the distinct roles that physical therapists, occupational therapists, and nurses play within comprehensive diabetes management, supported by growing evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of these disciplines in improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
