The Geriatric Diabetic Certification Course Modules will provide current practice standards, advanced subject material and pertinent information to further nursing knowledge regarding this disease process. In addition, this enhanced information will provide the nurse with additional perspective and relevant education to share with the diabetic patients and their families.

The certification corresponds to a specialty within a recognized occupation. For example, Oncology Nurse and Pediatric Nurse are specialties within the nursing field, so Certified Oncology Nurse and Certified Pediatric Nurse would be classified as specialty certifications.
