Stefonek, Reilly earn Certified Diabetes Educator Status
The National Certification Board for Diabetes Educators (NCBDE) recently announced that Sacred Heart-Saint Mary's Hospital employees Nancy Stefonek, RN, CDE has renewed her Certified Diabetes Educator status by successfully completing the continuing education renewal option process and that Karina Reilly, RD, CD has successfully completed the Certification Examination for Diabetes Educators.
Candidates must meet rigorous credential and professional practice experience requirements to be eligible for certification. Achieving the CDE credential demonstrates to patients and employers that the health care professional possesses distinct and specialized knowledge, thereby promoting quality care for patients with diabetes. Currently more than 15,000 diabetes educators hold the CDE credential.
NCBDE was established in 1986 to develop and administer a certification program for health care professionals who teach individuals with diabetes how to manage their disease. Through the development, maintenance, and protection of the certification process and the CDE credential, NCBDE recognizes and advances the specialty practice of diabetes education. NCBDE supports the concept of voluntary, periodic certification for all diabetes educators who meet credential and experience eligibility requirements.
