AIM DM Teaching and Management Clinic
This is an
on-site clinic where residents will work alongside Evelyn Thompson, our
diabetic educator, under the supervision of an attending to provide for DM
follow up care for patients of their colleagues. Patients who have not met
their goal for DM control should be referred to this clinic. No referral
paperwork is necessary; one just needs to write “refer to AIM DM clinic” on the
bottom of your clinic notes. The PFA will schedule the patients through the
EPIC systems. Please be sure your patient has updated med lists, A1c values, on your electronic WebCIS
notes. Please also offer specific instructions if there are particular things
you want the team to follow up on or act on.
Patients will start their first session at a daily group “DM Teaching
Session.” Following this, they will be recruited into the individual counseling
and management program. To date, this program has already accomplished at least
an average of two point A1c decrease for some of our
most difficult-to-manage patients with diabetes.
