Mission & Vision
Our Motto is to provide excellent learning to interested medical graduates and post-graduates. It aims to empower these doctors with the additional knowledge required to be able to efficiently manage diabetes according to current evidence-based practice guidelines, not only in cities but also in rural areas where there are limited facilities available and there are an increased number of diabetic patients that need special attention in this field of medicine. It must be noted that due to a lack of enough specialized training, patients with diabetes are not diagnosed in time and even when diagnosed, are devoid of getting the advice and treatment they deserve. The doctors attending the course would also have a better idea about when to refer these cases to higher centres/specialists in case of need.
