Although not accredited for CE, this educational program features Bill Polonsky, PhD, CDE, a clinical psychologist, who addresses four dangerous beliefs held by many patients with diabetes. Accompanying the program are case studies featuring patient presentations of each of these beliefs, with Amy Hess-Fischel, MS, RD, CDE, BC-ADM, constructively addressing potential solutions. A twist on the traditional case study format is the “progressive” nature of the cases, displaying several clinician visits. Because 3Rings believes in a multi-disciplinary care team approach to the management of diabetes, the target audience for this program is PAs, NPs, RNs, RDs, RPhs, and CCMs. Embracing new practice paradigms, the program also features the utilization of tele-health concepts, including telephone consultations and follow-up visits.
