Continuing Medical Education (CME) Opportunities

"Our goal is to positively impact the quality of life for people with diabetes throughout the state of Texas by offering state-of-the-art learning opportunities to health care providers and those who work with people with diabetes".

The Texas Diabetes Institute's Continuing Medical Education (CME) Program strives to provide high quality educational opportunities for physicians and allied healthcare providers, which enhance their knowledge, skill, and professional performance. We are dedicated to improving overall patient care and the general health and well-being of the public.

The Texas Diabetes Institute provides professional continuing education activities and courses that focus on the latest in basic and clinical research. These activities offer educational opportunities, as well as the chance to network with colleagues. The Texas Diabetes Institute conducts continuing medical education programs in support of its overall mission to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. It is our belief that the quality of treatment received by the person with diabetes is directly dependent upon the education and expertise of his or her health care team.

Our Continuing Medical Education (CME) conferences highlight innovative procedures and technologies, examine current controversies in treatment, and update you on the latest advances in the understanding and treatment of the disease.
