The ADEA conducts an Accreditation Program for tertiary education institutions offering postgraduate courses in diabetes education and management. Completing an ADEA accredited postgraduate course is one of the criteria for achieving recognition as an ADEA CDE.
The aim of the ADEA Accreditation Program is to ensure people with or at risk of diabetes have access to quality diabetes education and care, through course curriculum offered to students that is consistent with evidenced-based best practice diabetes education, reflects current and emerging practice trends and equips students with the skills and knowledge required in today’s complex health care environment. The courses include a clinical placement component and require the completion of the Student Placement Record Booklet.
