Lifestyle Coach Training
In order to standardize the I CAN Prevent Diabetes groups, lifestyle coaches have been required to attend and be certified at a two day lifestyle coach training lead by Dr. David Marrero or Minnesota trained leaders. Lifestyle coach trainings have been held in Minnesota in December 2007, August 2008, March 2009 for Spanish speaking lifestyle coaches, and July 2009. Over 70 lifestyle coaches have been certified to offer programs in Minnesota.
Information about upcoming training opportunities will be posted to the website.
