VSP Vision Care in partnership with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) offers diabetes-focused training and education for you and your staff. Courses cover a wide variety of topics, including an overview of diabetes and diabetic-related eye diseases, nutrition, as well as co-morbidities. See a list of courses.

In addition to on-demand courses, live-virtual education is offered several times a year. Many of these courses provide complimentary COPE-accredited continuing education (CE) credits.

The ADA Badge Boosts Your Presence on vsp.com

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) badge helps your practice stand out to the hundreds of thousands of patients who visit the VSP® Find a Doctor Directory on vsp.com each month. Locations displaying the ADA badge receive nearly 2X as many clicks to their appointment scheduler compared to those without a badge.*
