About the Course

The Certificate Course in Diabetic Complications, offered by the International Institute of Clinical Excellence and Research (IICER), is a structured educational program designed for healthcare professionals seeking expertise in identifying, managing, and preventing diabetes-related complications.

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of metabolic, microvascular, and macrovascular complications, integrating evidence-based guidelines and clinical best practices. Participants will develop the necessary skills to improve patient outcomes through early detection, risk mitigation, and targeted interventions in diabetic care.
