Summary:

This webinar is offered through a collaboration with the IHS Division of Diabetes Treatment and Prevention, with the recording available on the DDTP website at https://www.ihs.gov/diabetes/training/cmece-online-edu/diabetes-online-cme-ce-education/.

Discussion of appropriate integration of traditional food ways into health care and education will be provided, including specific examples and tools for diabetes care and self-management education.

1. Describe the contribution of Indigenous concepts in patient education in supporting motivation for patient change.
