PES LIVE - Insulin Pump Therapy In the School Setting

Pittsburgh, PA US
June 16, 2022

This course was designed  because our department frequently receives requests for education on insulin pumps from school nurses who are not familiar with this technology. We also receive phone calls on a daily basis from school nurses so that we can advise them on how to respond with situations that arise with their students using insulin pump therapy. Additionally, this technology is continually being updated and it is important for the school nurses to become familiar with the updates
