Your Invitation to Submit for Late Breaking Research Sessions at AADE19
Apr 22, 2019, 11:58 AM
In 2017, I had the opportunity to present a poster at the American Association of Diabetes Educators annual meeting in Indianapolis. This poster session was different than other meetings that I have attended on a national level. At most meetings, I have been assigned one day for a 2-hour block to present my research and answer questions from attendees. However, at the AADE meeting, the posters were presented over three consecutive days for 1-hour blocks. I found this experience to be very valuable as I had more attendees from the meeting come to discuss my research. It was also very rewarding to be part of the entire poster session made up of many diabetes educators from multiple disciplines that are excited to share their research.
Therefore, you should take advantage of the opportunities available within AADE to present data and results related to diabetes education and management. take advantage of the opportunities available within AADE to present data and results related to diabetes education and management.
