Project ECHO Diabetes - Diabetes Stigma

Thursday, January 26, 2023, 12:15 PM - 1:15 PM, Webinar

Project ECHO Diabetes offers (1) weekly tele-education clinics with continuing education credits for primary care providers (PCPs) and pharmacists treating patients with diabetes on intensive insulin therapy, (2) support with complex diabetes-related medical decision-making, and (3) access to peer mentors for patients with diabetes. Project ECHO Diabetes addresses urgent geographic, racial, and socioeconomic disparities to promote health equity and improve health outcomes in California's highly vulnerable populations of children and adults with diabetes. The goal of the program is to democratize specialty knowledge by increasing the capacity of PCPs, pharmacists, and clinics to empower and safely and effectively manage underserved patients with diabetes who do not receive routine specialty care. Stanford University will serve as the “Hub” site with a team of multi-specialty experts (pediatric and adult endocrinologists, primary care providers, behavioral health specialists, nurse/diabetes educators, social workers, dietitians, and exercise physiologists) to work in partnership with “Spoke” sites (community healthcare providers and clinics).

Registration is by invitation only and limited to Spoke sites.
