The certificate course in Evidence based diabetes management run by the Public Health Foundation of India is one of the most valued and most accepted diabetes education programme in the country. Needless to mention in last three years CCEBDM has become the most important National Diabetes education programme to the entire country. Above 3000 physician have qualified through this portal. It has made a dent in diabetes education and patient care in the country and are these trained doctors are rendering service both in the urban and also in the peripheral hospital.I am delighted that this course has received the most important International Diabetes Federations accreditations which makes it unique and opens new vistas in front of us to carry out & duplicate this programme in other countries who are in need of such programme. The Kerala State Govt and Kolkatta Municipality Corporation have already accepted this programme for their doctors training.The contents spread over twelve modules , excellent presentation of slides, the information packed unique module booklets are the strengths of this course, further the erudite National consultant, the expert faculty and very detailed monitoring and evaluation system, case based discussions and the pre and post test assessments are exclusive features of this programme that makes this great.I wish this PHFI programme and an endless progression.

The success of the CCEBDM program has been truly remarkable. It has quickly established itself as the benchmark for diabetes educational programs for practicing physicians. The course content was initially developed and subsequently, incrementally modified and improved by experts from across India, ultimately resulting in a comprehensive body of information that has been delivered to thousands of physicians. The sense of involvement and ownership on the part of all those involved in delivering the program is one of the key reasons its success. The excellent organization by the PHFI and the leadership role played by Dr Mohan's Academy have all combined to make this a course that has now achieved global recognition. I am delighted to be a part of this unique educational endeavour.

The new modules for this certificate course are a complete change and delivers update knowledge to the participants. I feel some case illustrations can be made to make it more practical and applicable in clinical practice. I also suggest the exit exam pattern should be re-defined to make this course worthy.

The course is a practical one with updated content, the imparting of the knowledge is also in the typical Guru-Shishya pattern. Uniformity assures delivery of quality care across the country
