Program Description
The Diabetes Champion Course is part of the Diabetes Center of Excellence (DCOE) initiative. The goal of this course is to provide succinct yet comprehensive diabetes education on goal, management, and resources to improve diabetes mellitus control at MTFs. As part of the DCOE Outreach program, the course focus is on training primary care staff in all MTFs to better manage patients with diabetes. It is based on a team approach which includes a provider/MD (as Champion), a nurse, and a technician, though it may take on a different configuration at individual facilities. Learners, through participation in the Diabetes Champion Course, will develop and present a CPG or process improvement plan to implement in his/her MTF/facility, resulting in the improvement of patient, provider, and MTF outcomes. This course has been developed in alignment with the 2011 VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guideline Champion & Team Members and the 2017 VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guideline. Four days, offered semi-annually (April and September) and is intended to be attended in person. Due to current COVID-19 issues, we will offer this course via the online DCS platform.
