Type 2 diabetes, a disease that silently affects thousands of Panamanian families, returned to the center of academic and health debates with the presentation of the results of the DM2–Panamá project. This research analyzes the real impact of structured education on the control of this chronic condition. The National College of Pharmacists of Panama was invited to this scientific event, organized by Magíster Sara Gómez, coordinator of the Pharmacy School of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Universidad Latina, Santiago campus, together with Magíster Hermes Rodríguez B., principal investigator of the study. The event put concrete data on the table about how well-applied education can change the course of the disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. During the meeting, the Vice President of the College, Lic. Julio De León Muñoz, noted that the study provides real tools for the comprehensive management of diabetes, based on evidence and focused on improving the quality of life for patients. The participation of the pharmaceutical guild in this type of academic event reaffirms its commitment to continuous education, applied research, and strengthening the role of the pharmacist within the Panamanian health system, not just from behind the counter, but as a key actor in the prevention and control of chronic diseases. Also representing the National College of Pharmacists were Juan Antonio Correa, treasurer, and Larisa Sáenz, a member of the Board of Directors, consolidating the institutional presence of the guild in initiatives that seek to bring classroom science to the daily life of the patient. Magíster Rodríguez B. presented the research with the support of his tutors from the University of Granada.
