​Distance Learning Program (DLP)

The Certificate Course on Diabetology (CCD) is run by Distance Learning Program (DLP) which is an enterprise of Bangladesh Diabetic Somiti (BADAS)/Diabetic Association of Bangladesh (DAB).Number of people with diabetes mellitus is rising rapidly and enormously across the globe, posing a great threat for a future health tsunami. And diabetes care is suboptimal throughout the world. Bangladesh is no exception to this. The Bangladesh Diabetic Somiti (BADAS)/Diabetic Association of Bangladesh (DAB) has been fighting against this disease since its inception in 1956. But currently it can take care of about only 15-20% diabetic patients of the country. For this reason this organization has been involved in creating appropriately trained manpower for the management and prevention of diabetes through academic courses, training programmes/workshops, etc. BADAS has designed and produced this Certificate Course on Diabetology through Distance Learning Program (DLP) to provide appropriate education and training to the physicians to learn treatment and prevention of diabetes mellitus.

The course was designed in collaboration with two experts from the Open University of UK, Prof. Janet Grant, Director of Medical Education and Prof. Mike Stewart, Prof. of Neuroscience. They initially conducted a feasibility study in Bangladesh. The conclusion was that ‘a countrywide tutor-based Regional Tutorial Center (RTC) system of Distance Learning Program (DLP) is feasible under BADAS organization’. Then a workshop of Training of Tutors (TOT) was arranged. The curriculum was subsequently developed with the contributions of diabetologists and endocrinologists from BADAS. The certificate course was inaugurated in June 2003 and was formally started with a pilot batch of 50 physicians.

Due to the COVID19 panadamic during CCD bach 31 we have changed the course format to a fully online fisible one. So from the CCD bach 32  student's Learing materials are presented in lession, - students study each lession and do online End Lession Pracise on them ( as many times as he/she wants) and then they also attend online tutorials conducted by the tutor. So now students are able to persue the course from any where.
