Addressing Obesity: A Community of Practice: Pharmacologic Options for the Treatment of Obesity

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.

As part of the series of activities on Addressing Obesity: A Community of Practice, this activity focuses on principles of pharmacological treatment of obesity across a range of patients based on characteristics. You will learn to formulate long-term obesity treatment plans based on patient characteristics, comorbid conditions and complications, preferences, and access.

Learning Objectives


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

  • Select anti-obesity medications for appropriate patients based on patient characteristics
  • Formulate a long-term treatment plan for obesity based on patient characteristics, comorbid conditions and complications, preferences, and access
