Course Description

You, as an expert in diabetes mellitus, have the power to affect the lives of millions of patients. In your community, almost everyone would have someone who has been impacted by diabetes.

This course is the final step in becoming a diabetes expert and addresses the management of diabetic complications and the treatment of diabetes in special populations, permitting you to administer the optimum care to complicated cases. The experience of practical training in a leading corporate hospital guided by expert diabetologists gives you a much-needed clinical experience.

Learning complex medical concepts in the traditional didactic textbook and lecture format can be alienating for students. It prevents the opportunity to apply this knowledge clinically.

Fellowship in Diabetes Mellitus incorporates a Case-Based Learning Approach within the Medvarsity Learning Framework to address this gap in medical education. With this unique methodology, students consume relevant medical content while learning concepts through interactive case studies spread throughout the course. Thus, students are provided with relevant specialty-specific cases and a clear structure for precise diagnosis and customized treatment plans on a case-to-case basis.

Additionally, we’ve partnered with McGraw Hill to ensure that the students are exposed to relevant and credible content with the latest advances in the course specialty through a variety of case studies, books, videos, and other learning materials. This is the future of online education, especially for healthcare professionals.

This course is designed in collaboration with the Royal Liverpool Academy and incorporates a blended learning design.

We at Medvarsity strive to equip every physician with the ability to fast-track their career and enable them to better serve the communities in which they practice. Join us, and let us impact healthcare through education.
