IDEAL: A Comprehensive Virtual Training Program for Pediatric Diabetes Educators in Low-Resource Settings - Structure, Strengths, and Challenges.
Introduction: Pediatric Diabetes Educators (PDEs) are scarce in low-resource settings (LRS), compromising diabetes care and increasing morbidity and mortality.
Methods: The Indian Society for Pediatric & Adolescent Endocrinology (ISPAE) developed IDEAL (ISPAE Diabetes Education And Learning), a 12-week virtual program with 24 interactive sessions of 2 hours each, 58 faculty members, practical assignments, a rigorous exit exam, and ongoing post-certification engagement via WhatsApp.
Results: Since October 2021, 177 PDEs (128 non-physicians, 49 physicians) have been trained in 8 batches, 9th batch completing. Teaching is in English, but assignments are accepted in 8 Indian languages. 91% of trainees were women, 24% were persons with type 1 diabetes (PwT1D) or their parents, and 50% were from smaller cities. Engagement was high, with a 91% attendance rate. Post-session test scores improved significantly (p < 0.05). IDEAL received the ISPAD Innovation Award (2023) and ISPAD endorsement. Eighty-five of the 177 IDEAL alumni ('IDEALites') completed a post-course survey. Of these, 88% are actively contributing to pediatric diabetes care, and earning recognition and awards for their efforts.
Challenges: Limited hands-on experience, a demanding program, and language barriers.
Conclusion: IDEAL is a pioneering, structured, intensive, virtual, award-winning PDE training program. Being accessible and sustainable, it can serve as a practical model for other programs in LRS.
期刊介绍：
The mission of ''Hormone Research in Paediatrics'' is to improve the care of children with endocrine disorders by promoting basic and clinical knowledge. The journal facilitates the dissemination of information through original papers, mini reviews, clinical guidelines and papers on novel insights from clinical practice. Periodic editorials from outstanding paediatric endocrinologists address the main published novelties by critically reviewing the major strengths and weaknesses of the studies.
