Diabetes Update 2023
Live Streaming • May 3 – 6, 2023
The Harvard Medical School Diabetes Update
Diabetes Update will be held online this year, using live streaming, electronic Q&A, and other remote learning technologies.
EDUCATION to MEET THE CHALLENGES of DIABETES CARE
At a time when our diabetes knowledge and treatment options have advanced so much, why do clinical outcomes remain suboptimal, with so many patients unable to achieve good control of their disease?
The answer is rooted in four challenges:
- Keeping pace with rapidly advancing clinical options for diabetes care:
- Therapies
- Technologies
- Lifestyle medicine interventions
- Designing comprehensive therapeutic interventions based on frequent diabetes-associated diseases and complications
- Accounting for a patient’s unique biological, psychological, social, financial, educational, and cultural factors
- Overcoming structural healthcare barriers that require clinical strategies to fit within a particular mold
This course is designed to equip clinicians to meet these challenges, providing practical, evidence-based approaches to optimize care for your patients.

PRACTICE IMPACT
Over four days, you will gain new, encompassing, evidence-based approaches to address the challenges seen in most clinical practices. More importantly, you will leave with knowledge—part art, part science—to make a real difference in the lives of your patients.
OPTIMIZED for REMOTE EDUCATION
The 2023 program has been enhanced for distance learning. In addition to being live streamed, all sessions will be recorded and made available to participants for online viewing for 60 days after the end of the course.
