CDCES
More about being a mentee
The CBDCE Mentorship Program was created to promote careers that will lead to a CDCES designation by providing candidates with the ability to accrue volunteer DCE hours.
This optional program partners experienced Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists with health professionals who are interested in gaining experience in providing diabetes care and education (DCE). Being a mentee can play an important role in your path to certification. The program can help you accrue experience in order to meet the practice requirement to sit for the CDCES exam.
Mentee eligibility
You’re eligible to become a mentee if you meet CDCES discipline requirements for the standard pathway and agree to provide DCE volunteer hours under the guidance of your CBDCE Mentor.
Your volunteer hours must be accrued within a maximum 5*-year period immediately before applying for certification.
