Program Format

This high-energy program will provide in-depth interaction and collaboration between the participants and expert faculty. The program will begin with an introductory session on the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D), followed by 4 short breakout sessions, in which activity participants will learn about new and emerging T2D therapies. In their last rotation session, each small group will prepare a 10-minute slide presentation, facilitated by expert faculty, outlining the benefits and limitations of each class of agents. Each small group will present their findings to the group at large, and will be critiqued by the faculty and other activity participants. The Diabetes Masters Certificate will be awarded to the group with the best presentation, based on predetermined criteria for accuracy and relevance to the clinical audience.
