About the Program
Diabetes is managed in almost every department of an Indian hospital, and this fellowship teaches it where it is actually met: in outpatient clinics, on the medical wards and in the foot and eye services. Over six months you build a working command of glycaemic assessment, oral and insulin therapy, and the complications that bring patients back. Teaching is anchored to the patients you review each week under a supervising physician.
