Your contact up until the time of the Summit is Desma Rozovics, drozovics@iafp.com, 312-301-6232 (who will be onsite with you) or Nora Williams, nwilliams@pceconsortium.org, 704-752-0257. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
AM I REGISTERED YET??? So close, but we ask one more thing!
Please email drozovics@iafp.com with anonymous patient A1c data from five (5) of your patients with T2DM and an A1c higher than 7.0. Try to pick patients whom you are likely to see regularly as we will be asking you to send another set of A1c test results from these patients in March of next year. Every year we have been able to demonstrate real world improvements using this data and we look forward to helping you make a difference with these patients. Simply express the data as "Patient One: 9.6, Patient Two: 8.1..." Email the information to drozovics@iafp.com at your earliest convenience - she will also send you a reminder.
We look forward to seeing you at the Summit!
