D04 - Empowering the Future: Nurturing New Talent

This presentation explores a comprehensive approach to orienting new diabetes care and education specialists (DCES). Just as we guide patients in taking ownership of their diabetes care through DSMES, we will focus on fostering a sense of responsibility, autonomy, and continuous growth for new DCESs. Attendees will learn how to structure an effective onboarding process that equips new DCESs with essential knowledge and skills while encouraging self-directed learning and professional development that is unique to the individual. By adopting a self-management approach for DCESs, we aim to cultivate confidence, independence, and long-term success in their roles as diabetes care and education specialists.

*Note* This is an encore of S10: Empowering the Future: Nurturing New Talent replacing a cancelled session. If you attended this session on Saturday, we recommend choosing a different session during this time block, as the content is the same and you can only claim CE for this topic once.
