Diabetes Management Groups

Question

Answer

When I practiced in North Carolina, we did group medical visits every three months.  We had 12-15 people per group.  The visit would usually last two hours. In the first 45 minutes, we would have a group session where we would do a skills activity and disseminate educational material.  We would also have a group discussion around that session's topic.  The clients would then be taken back individually for their medical visit with their physician.  It was a nice dynamic between the areas of information delivery, skills lab, group discussion and individual medical treatment. This is a nice way to manage many people if you have limited space or resources.  If you want to find out more information, I would look into the group medical visits literature.
