  • And more!

How It Works

The Team-Based Care Spotlight Challenge seeks to recognize practices with the best evidence-based approaches that effectively deliver diabetes care or monitor outcomes, with a focus on collaboration between the entire diabetes care team. Participants will present their best team-based care approaches to CUC attendees for the chance to win recognition among your colleagues and industry experts.

How to Participate:

  1. Prepare your presentation. Create a PowerPoint slide briefly describing the challenge you addressed in improving your patients’ health outcomes. Highlight the team-based strategy you used and share the improvements and successes achieved through your innovative approach. Your slide will be displayed at the conference and within the virtual platform for attendees to view and vote on.
  2. Submit your application. A complete application includes a $50 fee, a short description, and the PowerPoint slide that showcases your concept.
  3. Get notified if chosen as a finalist.
