    Course Description A comprehensive 12 day training program on prevention and control of diabetes in an out-patient setting
    Course Design Participants will be exposed to out patients in diabetes clinics of ISDFI Faculty and alumni where maximum learning
    is expected from experiential interaction with both patient and mentor. This is where concepts are introduced using actual
    cases and will occur on the first half of each meeting followed by active case discussion after lunch.

    Active Case Discussion will be a session wherein issues related to the patients that the participants saw in the morning
    will be adressed/discussed. This may occur in small group discussions or in a big group/plenary manner.

    Case Presentations are focused group discussions of interesting cases. These will be assigned to participants of the
    course the day before to give them time to prepare for the presentaton.

    concepts and guidelines.
