Introduction and Instructions
Thank you for your interest in Comprehensive Care for Persons with Diabetes: A Certificate Program! This course has been designed in partnership between endocrinologists and family physicians to provide a holistic course on diabetes care and management. 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.
