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.

Part of a series of activities on Addressing Obesity: A Community of Practice, this interactive real-world experience patient scenario will focus on how to interact with a patient about obesity when assessing current levels of physical activity, preferences, and limitations. 

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Assess a patient’s level of physical activity and their ability and readiness to increase physical activity
  
• Collaborate with the patient to identify strategies to increase physical activity in ways that are compatible with the patient’s preferences, abilities, resources, and schedule
