Diabetes Patient Care Traineeship

"I thought the Diabetes Traineeship was a wonderful experience. I would do it over again in a heartbeat.  Not only did I learn, but I became friends with my co-trainees. The hands-on experience at the University of Maryland and the Joslin Diabetes Center was incredible. It was a great opportunity to network in our profession. From my traineeship project, I am working closely with the OB/GYN Departmen to care for gestational diabetics. This experience prepared me to sit for the CDE exam this past spring. I have been encouraging others at my institution to look into ASHP traineeships."

"The diabetes traineeship was a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded pharmacists practicing in a variety of environments. Dr. Wong is a true practice leader and great teacher. The diabetes traineeship helped fine-tune my patient care skills."
--Judy Thompson, PharmD, BCPS, CDE

"The diabetes traineeship was an invaluable experience.  Not only has it improved my clinical skills in the area of diabetes, but it also gave me the knowledge and tools to further develop the program at my site. I would recommend this traineeship to anyone charged with implementing a pharmacist-run diabetes service."
