Join us on Wednesday March 04 at 7:30 p.m. ET to learn more about the Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) exam. This webinar will cover topics including certification eligibility, exam content and study tips.

Once again our facilitator will be Esmond Wong, pharmacist who has additional prescribing privileges, and certified diabetes educator. He created and maintains the popular website CDE Study Course which has helped over 2000 health care professionals across Canada pass the CDE exam. He works at the Calgary Primary Care Network as the pharmacist team lead and won Takeda's Magnum Opus award in 2014 for excellence in teaching. Esmond is an expert on the CDE and will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the exam.

As a special gift, we will be giving six DNIG members a “Package D” membership to Esmond’s website to help make the CDE studying process smoother and more enjoyable.
