Diabetes Disease State Management Program
An ACPE Certificate Program for Pharmacists
PROGRAM GOAL
The UT Diabetes Disease State Management Program is designed to prepare pharmacists who are interested in incorporating into their practice a high level of pharmaceutical care and service for their diabetic patients
The live portion of the program emphasizes hands-on workshops and case discussions conducted in small groups by clinical pharmacy faculty The program provides hands-on, skill based learning such that pharmacists leave the program with: 1 the ability to provide basic physical assessment services ie, diabetic foot checks and blood pressure monitoring which will allow you to assess diabetic patients; 2 a comprehensive knowledge of several popular blood glucose meters enabling you to recommend a meter to your customers as well as educate them on the correct technique involved with using the meter to monitor daily blood sugar; as well as 3 a practical understanding of proper insulin injection techniques, needle selection and insulin handling and storage so that you can counsel patients on these important issues These activities are complimented with lectures and a diabetic
for a day exercise Following the live portion of the program, participants will return to their practice setting and complete an exercise involving progress notes in a SOAP note format This course, taught primarily by College of Pharmacy faculty, will provide a foundation of skills and knowledge of diabetes management Participants must then have a desire to continue to develop their skills in the area of diabetes disease state management in order to be most effective in applying the information within their practice setting Past Participant Comments about the Course: Every pharmacists should be required to attend this course This is the best CE program I have ever attended Im going to encourage my company to encourage all of us to attend this conference
WHO SHOULD REGISTER FOR THIS COURSE?
Pharmacists who want to gain specific skills such that they can incorporate into their practice a high level of care and service for their diabetic patients The program is also excellent preparation for individuals planning to sit for the NABP examination in diabetes This intensive program is not designed for individuals simply seeking to obtain their annual CE requirement
PROGRAM DESIGN: WHAT
YOU WILL LEARN
In an effort to bring everyone into the course with a working knowledge of diabetes mellitus, the program will begin with required intensive home study which is accompanied by a pre-test that must be successfully completed and returned at least one week prior to pharmacists attending the concentrated live two-day workshop portion of the program The home study material will be an in-depth study of the disease state and treatment of diabetes, thus it will be mailed out to registered participants four weeks prior to the live program to give participants time to complete the home study materials
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Individuals are prepared for the live two-day program by completing extensive pre-readings, viewing taped lectures, and passing a pre-test
