The subject prepares students for professional practice in an interdisciplinary clinical
setting. Through the use of a series of evolving cases, students will put into practice
key knowledge and skills learned previously in the course. Students will demonstrate
educational interventions typically used in patient related services provided by diabetes
educators. Students will also engage with relevant professional development resources
useful in their future practice to ensure they are oriented to relevant CPD opportunities.
Students will further develop competence during supervised/mentored practice in the
clinical setting.
