The content emphasizes the practical management of patients with diabetes. Medical issues relating to the special medical needs, diagnosis and treatment of minority diabetics are discussed in depth. New concepts and basic pathophysiology are taught within the context of clinical implications and applications.

Our curriculum approach is totally comprehensive and is meant to have a meaningful educational impact. The Institute's seminars are serious intellectual undertakings, which are presented in such a way that the health care professional comes away feeling confident in his or her ability to manage their diabetic patients. Continuing medical education credits are awarded to all participating physicians.

Target audiences:

• Primary Care Practice groups
• Nursing Organizations
• Nutritionist / Dietitian Groups
• Pharmacist's Organizations

Corporate Workforce Education
The Endocrine Institute also conducts medical educational seminars that are specifically designed for the lay public. The most frequently requested lecture and seminar topics are Diabetes Mellitus, Thyroid Disorders, and Osteoporosis. The seminars emphasize an explanation, in lay terms, of all aspects of the disease biology and management, including ways in which patients can help themselves.

Our premise is that a well-educated patient will be a healthier patient. Our seminars are not meant to substitute for a physician visit, but our seminars are meant to empower patients to get more out of their physician visits, and ultimately to lead healthier lives. Healthy employees miss fewer workdays and are more productive.

Target audiences:

• Corporations
• Unions
• Non-profit organizations

We are an excellent resource tool for businesses whose employees are at higher risk for diabetes (e.g., sedentary work habits).
