The Training Course is designed to be practical and interactive. It will be run by experienced clinical endocrinologists from across Australia and will focus on everyday clinical skills required in the treatment of diabetes by a consultant physician. The course has been developed in consultation with, and its philosophy is supported by, the Chair of the SAC in Endocrinology in the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.
