Teachers College (the Graduate School of Education, Health, and Psychology at Columbia University) launched the world’s first Master of Science in Diabetes Education and Management (#TCDiabetes) in September, 2011. That was the first time academic preparation for the specialty of diabetes care and education became a reality.
Since then, passionate students have been studying and discussing diabetes and how to make life better for people living with diabetes. So far, 27 people have graduated and gone out into the world to do just that. Some are in clinics, some are in hospitals, some are or have gone on to earn doctoral degrees, and some have developed diabetes education programs.
In September of 2020, TC will celebrate the 10th academic year of the solely online and asynchronous MS in Diabetes Education and Management. Learn more about #TCDiabetes on their website, or Facebook, or Twitter (@TCDiabetes).
