University of Colorado Denver-Palliative Care Research Cooperative Group

“The internship position was much more than a desk job--the first two weeks that I worked at the BDC were purely about learning the ins and outs of Type 1 Diabetes. I was able to shadow and observe endocrinologists, nutritionists, nurse practitioners, social work, and, of course, psychologists all of whom play large roles in caring for kids with T1D and their family. I was also able to attend Camp Colorado (a week of regular summer camp for kids with Type I) as medical staff and participate in a Hotel Study for a new pump pending FDA approval. ”
