Diabetes Care Concentration
Elizabeth Ann Doyle, DNP, APRN, PPCNP-BC, CDCES
Dr. Doyle is an Associate Professor in the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner specialty and holds a joint appointment as a PNP/CDE for Yale Pediatric Endocrinology, Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital. She is the coordinator of the Yale School of Nursing Diabetes Concentration for final year MSN students, teaches PNP students in the areas of chronic illness/specialty care, and serves as an advisor for both Master in Nursing (MSN) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students. Dr. Doyle has served as a courtesy faculty member for Yale School of Nursing for over 20 years, precepting students in their specialty rotations, both PNP and FNP students in the diabetes concentration.
The Diabetes Care concentration consists of a series of courses that focus on advanced preparation in the sub-specialty of diabetes care practice and management. It is designed for current MSN students in their final year of study.
Students are required to complete a series of clinical practice courses and a didactic course, which include comprehensive management of patients with diabetes.
The concentration is open to students in the Adult/Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Adult/Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, Midwifery/Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner- Primary Care and Pediatric Nurse Practitioner-Acute Care specialties. The concentration is designed to prepare specialists in these fields for practice in diabetes care and management.
All students in the concentration enroll in Advanced Concepts and Principles of Diabetes Care (NURS 6100), and Clinical Practice in Diabetes Care and Management (NURS 6110 and NURS 6111), which require four hours per week of clinical practice. The coursework encompasses diabetes care, its complications across the lifespan and includes the pathophysiology and management of type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, monogenic forms of diabetes and gestational diabetes.

Due Date: 11:59 pm on March 28th, 2024
Fees
Students who are accepted into the Diabetes, Gender and Sexuality Health Justice, and Oncology, concentrations will pay an additional fee, split over two or three terms depending on when the concentration begins. Students who begin a concentration will pay an additional $9,876 (of which $4,938 will be due per term over two terms, or $3,292 due over three terms).
If, at the end of the first term, a student elects to drop a concentration, the student will not need to pay the next term’s concentration fee, but the fee will not be refunded.
If you are a specialty director for a concentration that requires Spring 2024 course enrollment, and therefore the concentration fee needs to be on the student’s spring bill, my office will need all approved students names no later than Friday October 27th. This allows us to make sure the student’s spring bill is reflected appropriately.
