As endocrine disorders are on the rise, it's important for primary care providers take a role in patient management. CGM has the opportunity to improve the lives of patients with endocrine disorders. Our Exploring CGM course will orient PCPs with CGM devices via guided explanations from faculty along with hands-on time with available devices to increase their knowledge of CGM as a tool, their confidence in discussing the CGM data with their patients, and competence in integrating CGM tools into their clinical practice.
