Approximately 70% of all adults in the United States are overweight or have obesity. Unfortunately, obesity remains underdiagnosed and inadequately addressed in routine practice. While enormous strides have been made in recent years relative to the safety and efficacy of anti-obesity medications in inducing meaningful and sustainable weight loss and improvement of weight-related health risks, these agents remain underutilized in clinical practice. To address these gaps and improve the practice of primary care providers (PCPs) who treat patients with obesity, this educational intervention will facilitate exchange of information, clinical experience, and practical guidance, while establishing sustainable support networks between obesity-management specialists and PCPs.
This assessment will provide a baseline measure of your knowledge of best practices in obesity treatment.
Learn more about the underlying causes of obesity and associated health risks.
Join two expert faculty as they explore cutting-edge pharmacologic strategies for obesity management.
This post-activity assessment will ascertain the knowledge gained as a result of your participation in this initiative.
Join your colleagues and group leader for a discussion of the program curriculum, including lessons learned and remaining questions. The group will discuss key points from each of the preceding modules, and share their clinical questions and general comments.
