Challenging Type 1 Diabetes Myths with Dr. Mellinger

Date: Nov 6, 2020 at 2:00pm to 3:00pm
Dr. Mellinger’s workshop is an effort to talk about common misperceptions about diabetes and will explain what you can do to support a person with diabetes. As a physician at JHU’s Health and Wellness Center, he has advocated for his patients to ensure they receive special accommodations when necessary, like for one of his patients taking the MCAT. He would also discuss important questions people with type 1 diabetes encounter, relating to alcohol and informing your roommate or professors. Before becoming a physician at JHU’s HellWell, Dr. Mellinger was the medical director of a diabetes camp for 24 years and was asked to join the National Youth Services Board for the American Diabetes Association. He has also published an article on advice for college students on diabetes.
