AB  - A goal of the Diabetes Research and Training Centers (DRTCs) is to translate 
      advances in diabetes research into improved patient care by providing innovative, 
      state-of-the-art training for health care professionals. This paper is a report 
      on a collaborative DRTC-AADE training project. A 2-day diabetes program developed 
      by the Chicago DRTC was packaged as a Workshop Instructor's Guide with 
      accompanying slides and materials. AADE faculty observed the workshop presented 
      by DRTC faculty and subsequently presented the workshop themselves. The 
      evaluation design involved comparing a workshop presented by the DRTC faculty 
      with a workshop presented by faculty from AADE. Three components were included in 
      the evaluation: the participants' evaluation, a commitment-to-change evaluation, 
      and the faculty observations. When comparing workshops, few differences were 
      observed in participants' or faculty observers' evaluations. Moreover, 
      participants at both workshops were equally successful at meeting goals related 
      to improving their diabetes education practice behaviors. Dissemination of the 
      program has been expanded and the workshop has become part of AADE's national 
      continuing education efforts.
