Cluster of Webinars on Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Danish Diabetes Academy is committed to providing new ways of mediating knowledge and as many universities are offering more and more distant learning opportunities in terms of e.g. short online introductory courses using Adobe Connect, we have decided to follow suit. Accordingly, we are offering a series of webinars divided into clusters of certain topics - in this case Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.
ORGANISERS
This series of webinars are organised by the Danish Diabetes Academy in collaboration with our Visiting Professors David McIntyre and Chittaranjan Yajnik.

The following topics will be covered during a series of four 40 minute sessions, of which 30 minutes are dedicated to the lecture and 10 minutes for answering questions.
