FMMD 220 - DIABETES INTERPROFESSIONAL MEDICAL EDUCATION (DIME) PROGRAM

[25 Hours]

The Diabetes Interprofessional Medicine Program (DIME) is a program that integrates clinical service with education guided by the Exemplary Care and Learning site Model (Headrick LA, 2011), introducing principles of a patient centered medical home (PCMH) into an ambulatory site using a team of learners from nursing, medicine, pharmacy, and social work. The team provides care management for a high risk population of uncontrolled diabetic patients. Learners experience elements of the PCMH through participation, learn teamwork skills, and contribute positively to improving patient care outcomes.
