Fresh is best

when it comes to the foods you eat.

Keeping your DSMES curriculum fresh

is important for your participants' health.

Choose new materials from today's most

current DSMES curricula,

or develop your own curriculum

using current evidence-based

best practices.

Just be sure to let your

participants' needs guide your choices.

All curricula must have

supporting documentation and

meet the established standard.

Also, choose a teaching approach

that is as dynamic and innovative

as possible and addresses your

participants' needs at a personal level.

Supplement your curriculum with

additional evidence-based

resources as necessary.

Whatever DSMES curriculum you choose,

it must cover:

•Pathophysiology,

•Healthy eating,

•Physical activity,

•Medication use,

•Monitoring,

•Acute complications,

•Chronic complications,

•Healthy coping, and

•Problem solving.

Stay fresh for your patients' health!

Keep your DSMES curriculum choice

participant-centered,

interactive,

and current.
