Increasing the Number of Qualified Diabetes Educators and Providers

In 2007-08, the NDHN implemented a “Diabetes Education Certificate” reimbursement program for healthcare workers in Aboriginal communities and organizations in northern Ontario. This program reimburses the cost of registration and materials (as well as approved fieldwork for Registered Nurses and Registered Dietitians) for NDHN-approved individuals who complete online “Diabetes Education Certificate Program” modules at either Cambrian or Confederation Colleges.

As per College guidelines, Registered Nurses and Registered Dietitians are eligible to complete the entire program (4 theory modules and 2 practical modules each approximately 40 hours in length) while other frontline healthcare workers are eligible to take Module 1.

This Certificate Program was developed by the NDHN in collaboration with Cambrian and Confederation Colleges and is accredited by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. For more information about the Diabetes Education Certificate, click here.

For more information about the reimbursement program through the NDHN Northern Ontario Aboriginal Diabetes Initiative, contact the NDHN at AboriginalDiabetes@ndhn.com.
To request funding for the Diabetes Education certificate, download the "Confederation or Cambrian College Diabetes Education Certificate" funding request form (# NDHN/NOADI/F002). Complete the form and fax it to the NDHN at 807-737-2240.

Enhancing Communication and Collaboration between Existing Diabetes Education and Management Service Organizations
The process of developing and implementing diabetes-related strategies has enhanced the ongoing communication and collaboration between communities/organizations and NDHN-member diabetes programs.
