AADE
Foundation/Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) Plant Based Diet
Scholarship: The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has teamed
up with the AADE Foundation to provide funds for a unique scholarship. PCRM offers public and
professional education materials, most at no or very low cost, on the use of a low-fat, plant-based
nutrition approach for diabetes self-management. This scholarship is designed to recognize an
educator who demonstrates knowledge of plant-based (vegan) nutrition, and its beneficial role in
treating type 2 diabetes, and who has shared this information with people with diabetes under
his/her care, resulting in nutritional behavior change and improvements in clinical markers.
