Webinar presented by The Audiology Project
Presenter: Pamela Allweiss, MD, MPH, Centers for Disease Control
April 24, 2018
12:30-1:30 pm

This webinar will cover the guide: Working Together to Manage Diabetes: A Guide for Pharmacy, Podiatry, Optometry, and Dentistry, to show practitioners in the four disciplines presented here—pharmacy, podiatry, optometry, and dentistry—can work collaboratively with each other, as well as with all other members of the health care team, such as audiologists, primary health care providers, physician assistants, nurse educators, and community health workers to treat people with diabetes (or in some cases even prevent type 2 diabetes).

The audiologist may be the first to see a person with, or at risk for, diabetes. This will offer the opportunity to:
• Give consistent diabetes messages.
• Recognize early danger signs.
• Promote the team approach to care.

Join us for a webinar on April 24, 2018 at 12:30 PM EST.
