Addressing Obesity: A Community of Practice is designed to create a community for PAs to participate in CME and other learning activities, collaborate, and share best practices, research, and evidence-based knowledge on obesity management and treatment. This will serve as a community where all PAs, regardless of practice setting or specialty, can come together to share and discuss current and relevant research and evidence-based approaches to obesity care. Join the Huddle Subcommunity, subscribe to daily digest emails, participate in Ask Me Sessions, and earn CME with interactive real-world experiences patient scenarios,  live webinars, and webinar replays.

Part of the series of activities on Addressing Obesity: A Community of Practice, this recorded webinar will focus on all things pathophysiology, so participants begin to understand that it is more complicated than "calories in/calories out", build knowledge about how obesity is related to type 2 diabetes and other conditions, and gain an understanding of where various interventions are targeted and how they work.
