​Diabetes Concentration
​
“What the mind can conceive and believe, and the heart desire, you can achieve.”
- Norman Vincent Peale
The Diabetes Concentration is an excellent opportunity for interns who are interested in  working with the patient population diagnosed with diabetes.   Diabetes often goes hand-in-hand with obesity and cardiovascular disease, and management of patients suffering from one of these conditions often have risk factors to develop the other two.  Registered Dietitians/Nutritionists interested in this area of practice often go on to become Certified Diabetes Educators (CDE). Our goal is to provide interns with a basic knowledge of all nutrition related disease states with an emphasis on the prevention and management of diabetes.
