The certified diabetes care and education specialist (CDCES) credential is an important tool to show your expertise in diabetes care and education while advancing career opportunities. The CDCES credential is maintained and fully administered by the Certification Board for Diabetes Care and Education (CBDCE), formerly the National Certification Board for Diabetes Educators.
Currently, there are not enough VA or DOD clinicians within interprofessional healthcare teams that are dual credentialed (RN/CDCES, RDN/CDCES, etc) to care for the 1.6 million Veterans that have the diagnosis of diabetes.
The purpose of this enduring knowledge-based Certificate Program is to provide clinicians with advanced education and training on diabetes management and to enable the learner to successfully obtain the certified diabetes care and education specialist (CDCES) credential. This is one of 16 topics will cover: Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and Risk Management and also Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Risk Management.
