Diabetes-Management-SIG
Mission
The mission of the APhA-APPM Diabetes Management Special
Interest Group (SIG) is to create a support network for
pharmacists and student pharmacists who share an interest in
the area of diabetes management. The APhA-APPM Diabetes
Management SIG will allow pharmacists and student
pharmacists in this area of practice to connect with others
in the field and provide opportunities to discuss up-to-date
disease management information.
Purpose
Members of the APhA-APPM Diabetes Management SIG will be
able to share education materials, clinical updates,
training events, and other information related to the care
of patients with diabetes. The APhA-APPM Diabetes Management
SIG will also be a home for pharmacists and student
pharmacists to share planning information for community
service events geared towards patients with diabetes.
