Overview
The CWD Fellows Program at Friends for Life Orlando gives healthcare professionals who are beginning their careers an opportunity to see what type 1 diabetes is really like by spending a week with Friends for Life families. By exposing our Fellows to every aspect of life with type 1, from morning highs and lows to exercise-induced hypos to the emotional impact of a blood glucose reading that doesn't match expectations, we hope to help them bring greater understanding and compassion to the families who they will serve in their career.
