How is the EASD e-Learning educational program structured?  

Our educational program consists of individual modules that are packaged as courses. CME credits are awarded per completed module. Although we do advise to follow the module order within a course, you may complete them in any order. 


How do I complete an EASD e-Learning module? 

You must review all chapters, complete the self-marked assessments (knowledge checks and/or case studies) and pass the final assessment with 80 % or greater – you have five attempts for this. Furthermore, you will need to fill in our feedback form to before receiving access to download your credit certificate – this is a UEMS requirement.  


How do I get in touch with EASD e-Learning?  

For assistance or to provide feedback, please contact info@easd.org


How do I download my CME credit certificate for a completed EASD e-Learning module?  

You can download the credit certificate once you have filled in the feedback form after passing the final assessment on the last page of a module or in the course progress section of your profile page. 


Who are the supporters of EASD e-Learning?  

The EASD e-Learning platform has several supporters – they are mentioned on the EASD e-Learning homepage. 


Who are the contributors of EASD e-Learning modules?  

The EASD e-Learning course programme is made possible thanks to the invaluable contributions of leading researchers and clinicians who generously share their expertise to improve the lives of people living with diabetes. All authors, reviewers, and assessment setters who have contributed to the EASD e-Learning modules are acknowledged in the About Us – Meet Our Experts section. 


Where do contributors disclose any conflicts of interest?  

All experts who have generously contributed to the EASD e-Learning course programme transparently disclose any potential dualities of interest in their biographies. These can be accessed by clicking on the contributor profiles on the module overview page or in the About Us – Meet Our Experts section. 


Are the case studies in the modules based on real people?  

All case studies in EASD e-Learning modules are fictitious teaching examples. Any resemblance to the case history of a real person with diabetes is purely coincidental.
