Web-Based Trainings

The IHS Division of Diabetes (DDTP) has developed several web-based trainings to provide health care providers and others who work in the Indian health care system with information that can be use on a daily basis when interacting with clients and co-workers. These trainings may be particularly helpful to people who are new to the Indian health system or new to diabetes treatment and prevention. Several of the trainings offer continuing education credits.
