The solely online and asynchronous Diabetes Education and Management Program is an interprofessional 36-credit Master of Science degree— the first of its kind. We equip clinicians and care managers with a greater understanding of how diabetes develops and evolves across different age groups and populations; how to assess the whole person and help them manage treatment of their disease; how to develop, implement, and evaluate diabetes self-care education and management programs; and how to conduct advocacy. The program is offered entirely online.
Program requirements include coursework and a culminating project in which students demonstrate their integration of the content they have learned. In addition to courses with content specific to diabetes, the program includes courses currently offered through the Health Education, Nutrition Education, Exercise, Nursing Education, Human Development, and Adult Learning and Leadership programs of Teachers College.
The solely online and asynchronous Certificate in Advanced Diabetes Topics is an 18-credit academic certificate for those holding a master's degree or higher in a clinical discipline. Those with a graduate degree who have been working in diabetes for two years or more are also eligible to apply. The certificate program includes the six core diabetes courses.
