Is Weight Stigma a Barrier to Effective Education? | July Newsletter

July Newsletter Now Available!

Most of us aren’t even aware that weight bias is embedded in our everyday medical language, in scientific papers, and in our client interactions.  But with awareness, we start hearing and seeing this bias all around us and realize that change is needed. 

In our July Newsletter, we explore weight bias language and provide some examples and fixes. Plus, we invite you to apply for our diabetes education scholarship and highlight the approval for a GLP-1 RA for pediatrics with type 2 diabetes.

July Newsletter Topics

  • What is weight bias and how do we fix it.
  • You are invited to apply for our Diabetes Educator Course Scholarship in San Diego, CA – Deadline July 22, 2019.
  • Approval for a GLP-1RA for pediatrics with type 2 diabetes.
  • Digital PocketCards Updated.
  • Bring a Friend – $80 discount on the Diabetes Educator Course.

Newly Expanded Accreditation!​

For more information on accreditation, visit each individual course page in our Online Store and click the “Accreditation” tab

Our course CE credits are through the following accrediting bodies:

  • AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™,
  • ACPE,
  • ANCC, and
  • CDR

Course credits will continue to count toward the CDCES and BC-ADM certification requirements, and many of our offerings (all of Standards of Care Intensive courses, plus our Virtual and Live DiabetesEd Training Conferences) fulfill the ADA Standards of Care component required for certification renewal.

The use of DES products does not guarantee the successful passage of the certification exam. CBDCE and ADCES do not endorse any preparatory or review materials for the CDCES or BC-ADM exams, except for those published by CBDCE & ADCES.
