This symposium is designed to enhance healthcare professionals’ competence in managing diabetes and its complications by directly addressing the gaps that limit high-quality diabetes care across Wisconsin. Competence in this context refers to the ability to apply knowledge and skills effectively in a real-world setting.
Participants who engage in this education intervention will be able to:
Explain the pathophysiological processes involved in diabetes and obesity.
Incorporate the patient perspective into diabetes and obesity care.
Describe appropriate drugs and therapy for diabetes and obesity, using well-controlled trial data.
By focusing on competence, the symposium aims to equip healthcare professionals with the necessary knowledge and judgment to provide high-quality, patient-centered care for individuals with diabetes.
