Description
Due to their accessible locations, extended hours, and knowledgeable care teams, pharmacies are among America’s most trusted and reliable healthcare settings. Since most Americans live within five miles of their local pharmacy, and turn to them frequently for healthcare needs, pharmacies provide an ideal location in which to identify individuals at risk for type 2 diabetes, screen those individuals for program eligibility, and refer them to CDC-recognized diabetes prevention programs within their communities. This program discusses the value of pharmacies, how they can identify people at risk, and how they can refer individuals to in-person and online diabetes prevention programs.
Learning Outcome
Learners will have an increased understanding of how to identify individuals at risk for diabetes, screen them for diabetes, and refer them to CDC-recognized lifestyle change programs.
