Integrate current clinical science, health outcomes research, quality improvement methodologies, drug therapies, education, and technology into clinical practice.
Become more informed and involved in advocacy issues related to diabetes care.
To provide a forum for resident education on current clinical practice, relevant diabetes care, practice management, and advocacy issues in preparation for careers and competent and ethical diabetes clinicians.
