MCT2D will offer 10 new live learning community webinars in 2025. Members can earn CME and meet their physician-level learning community VBR requirement by attending. The series is held once a month, from Noon to 1 PM (EST), via Zoom. Members are invited to register now.
In each webinar, you will have the chance to dive deeper into a subject, with discussions and presentations led by experts in nephrology, endocrinology, nutrition, obesity medicine, diabetes management and prevention, diabetes technology, quality improvement, mental health, and more—including many sessions led by MCT2D members.

Our most popular recorded learning community event was January 2024’s Updates to ADA Standards of Care 2024. It amassed over 464 hours of views this year. In 2025, we are pleased to host an Updates to the ADA Standards of Care 2025 live event next month, on February 27th.
In 2024, we welcomed a more diverse array of speakers, inviting more voices from across the collaborative to share their insights into diabetes quality improvement. We hosted three live QI panels and heard from quality improvement specialists at the forefront of transforming diabetes care across Michigan. We want to recognize those panelists. Thank you!
