Overview

Susan Renda has been a nurse for over 40 years. Her career began at the bedside with acutely ill patients and then in advanced practice as a nurse practitioner, certified diabetes educator, and nursing faculty. In all settings, she has brought a passion for education, as every moment with patients and students can be a teaching moment.

Her interest continues in improving access to diabetes care, helping clinicians prevent and manage chronic illness, and delivering culturally competent patient education in creative ways.
