Member-Exclusive Webinar Series Begins Year Two
As in year 1, each year 2 webinar will provide five actionable
tips that attendees can immediately put into practice.
" The 'hands on' tips presented at the end of each webinar
have been a useful feature of the series, " said Rodriguez.
" Providers leave the session with ideas that they can start
implementing as soon as the next day. "
Members who are not able to attend the live sessions can
still watch the recorded version at their convenience and
receive CE credit for the archived webcast. All Year 1 and
Year 2 webinars can be found in the webinar library at
professional.diabetes.org/wsa.

The member-exclusive " Hands On: Tips to Improve Diabetes
Care " webinar series began its second year of webinars last
month after wrapping up a successful first year in March.
During the inaugural year of the series, more than 1,000
American Diabetes Association (ADA) members and other
professionals took advantage of the opportunity to learn
about relevant topics in diabetes care while also earning up to
1 continuing education (CE) credit for each webinar attended.
Panelists from year 1 expressed hope that even more people
take advantage of this members-only benefit in year 2.
" These webinars are a win-win for busy professionals, so
I really hope to see my fellow ADA members attend in the
future, " said Henry Rodriguez, MD, Chair, ADA Membership
Advisory Group. " It's such a valuable use of an hour to both
learn about relevant issues in diabetes care and earn CE
credit, plus these are exclusive to ADA members. "
Year 2 of the series will feature nearly 40 diabetes experts
who will lead sessions on a wide range of topics, including
diabetes self-management apps, social and psychosocial
determinants of health in diabetes, and hypoglycemia fear.

The " Hands On " series was developed by leaders of the
Behavioral Medicine and Psychology, Diabetes in Primary
Care, and Diabetes Technology Interest Groups and is made
possible by the generous support of the Leona M. and Harry
B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.
All webinars are held on the second Tuesday of the month
from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. ET. Future sessions include:
