The Harvard Medical School Diabetes Update 2023

PRACTICE IMPACT

OPTIMIZED for REMOTE EDUCATION

The 2023 program has been enhanced for distance learning. In addition to being live streamed, all sessions will be recorded and made available to participants for online viewing for 60 days after the end of the course.
