The UAB Comprehensive Diabetes Center (UCDC) was proud to support the operational work of the division. Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism Assistant Professor Alexandra Dodd, M.D., who is also a member of the UCDC, lauds the collaboration it took to plan the conference.

“I am so grateful to our administrative staff who planned this successful conference as well as my colleagues and each of our speakers who were willing to come and share their clinical expertise and advancements with care providers from across the state,” said Dodd. “Thank you to all who attended and supported the conference.”
