More Info

Detailed Description:
Joslin Diabetes Center, through the Professional Education Department, produces continuing medical education (CME) for healthcare providers involved in all aspects of diabetes care. Our programs offer valuable tools and information to more effectively set standards of care, improve healthcare outcomes and enhance quality of life for people with diabetes, its complications and its comorbidities.
In line with this vision, Joslin has developed a comprehensive, longitudinal platform for Performance Improvement CME (PI CME). PI CME is becoming the accepted standard for certified medical education in the U.S., and Joslin's PI CME platform uses a custom, turn-key approach to help you assess your practice and implement practice changes. The PI CME platform is delivered via the Joslin Professional Education Consortium (JPEC), a web resource extending traditional modes of learning with online virtual patient visits, point-of-care tools and resources, and peer-to-peer interactivity.
