15th Annual Chicago Diabetes Day

May 15, 2021
The goal of this activity is to provide practitioners and scientists with a comprehensive overview of the depth and breadth of clinical and scientific endocrinology. The curriculum will emphasize biochemistry and physiology, including cell and molecular biology as they relate to endocrinology. In addition, a critical review of the medical literature with an eye towards evidence-based medicine will be emphasized. We will have two keynote speakers on the topics of food as medicine for diabetes and monogenic/atypical diabetes updates. Clinical and scientific research in diabetes, endocrinology, and other internal medicine subspecialties related to complications of diabetes will be emphasized. This year a specific emphasis will be placed on the diabetes community and the psychosocial and cultural impact of diabetes as discussed from various researchers’ viewpoints.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed for physicians, scientists, nurse practitioners, nurses, diabetes educators, students, and other healthcare professionals dedicated to scientific advances in diabetes diagnosis, management, and treatment.
