Addressing Obesity: A Community of Practice Series
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 stay connected.
Addressing Obesity: A Community of Practice CME series will cover obesity topics such as the latest treatment options, patient/provider communication and engagement techniques, new best practices in obesity care, and more. The series will include interactive real-world patient scenarios, live webinars, and webinar replays.
