Note: This education is not intended to replace or supplant endocrinology board certification. Instead, this is a supplemental educational program for physicians who treat patients with diabetes. It is always recommended that primary management of diabetes is performed by the patient’s board-certified endocrinologist.

The American College of Osteopathic Internists (ACOI) has created a certificate program exploring the many facets of diabetes care and management. Developed through the efforts of endocrinologists and family physicians, this 12-part course encompasses both the clinical aspects of diabetes care as well as the supportive social pieces.

This course features 12 modules, each with a pre- and post-test, as well as a final exam to test your knowledge and competency at the end of the course. The entire course, including the final exam, offers 15.00 AOA Category 1-A CME, 15.00 AMA PRA Category 1 credits, and 15.00 ABIM MOC points for successful course completion. Each module is expected to take around 75 minutes to complete for a total of approximately 15 contact hours plus the final exam.

Note that you have one year from the date of access to complete the course content and final exam, through 12/31/2024. If you do not complete the material and exam within that year, you will have to repurchase the course. Once the content has been completed, you will retain access to the course through its expiration on 12/31/2024.

Learning Objectives
Upon the successful completion of this 12-part course, learners will:

  • Describe the spectrum of diabetes and considerations in special populations to provide personalized care. 
  • Identify patient-centered approaches to support psychosocial concerns and social determinants of health in patients with diabetes. 
  • Recognize approaches to patient engagement for successful approaches to prevention of progression of prediabetes to type 2 diabetes. 
  • Apply medical therapy options of insulin and non-insulin treatments to managing patient cases. 
  • Compare innovative approaches to care delivery with new technology and therapeutic options.

Audience
The target audience for the certificate program is physicians interested in expanding their approaches to diabetes care and management. This course will also be of interest to those responsible for the care of patients with diabetes, primarily nurse practitioners, registered nurses, physician assistants, and pharmacists.

Through this 12-part interactive course, you will learn innovative approaches to caring for persons with diabetes and improving their outcomes and quality of life.

    For each module, you will first complete a short pre-test to gauge your current knowledge and competency levels. Then you will complete an interactive module that should take about 75 minutes to finish. Once the module has been completed, you will take a short post-test to indicate the enhancements to your knowledge and competency.

    You will repeat this for all 12 modules. Once you have completed all 12, you will have access to a comprehensive final exam covering content from all 12 modules. You must get a 70% or higher on this exam to obtain your certificate, and you will have 3 attempts. After successfully completing the exam, you will receive your certificate and access to various references and resources.

    The entire course, including the final exam, has 15.00 AMA PRA Category 1 credits, 15.00 ABIM MOC points, and 15.00 AOA Category 1-A CME hours available. Each module is expected to take around 75 minutes to complete for a total of approximately 15 contact hours plus the final exam. Partial credit will not be awarded.

    Course Outline:

    • Pre-test for module (repeat for modules 1-12)
    • Interactive module (repeat for modules 1-12)
    • Post-test for module (repeat for modules 1-12)
    • Final exam (must achieve 70% or higher to obtain certificate)
    • Certificate and resources

    Note that you have one year from the date of access to complete the course content and final exam, through 12/31/2024. If you do not complete the material and exam within that year, you will have to repurchase the course. Once the content has been completed, you will retain access to the course through its expiration on 12/31/2024.

    By the end of this module, you should be able to:

    • Identify essential diabetes disease state elements as a foundation.
    • Prescribe science-based individualized care plans.
    • Create an effective diabetes care team to improve clinic workflow, coordination and facilitate engagement.
    • Conduct the “Diabetes Only” visit to reduce therapeutic inertia and optimal timeframe for scheduling follow-up visits based on A1C and medication changes.
    • Understand virtual care to facilitate touch points and more convenient interactions.
