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 developing long-term treatment plans for obesity based on patient characteristics, comorbid conditions and complications, preferences, and access. You will also learn to integrate nutritional, behavioral, and physical activity interventions into treatment plans and refer appropriate patients for metabolic surgery. 

Learning Objectives

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

• Formulate a long-term treatment plan for obesity based on patient characteristics, comorbid conditions and complications, preferences, and access
• Integrate non-pharmacological interventions into the treatment plan including nutritional, behavioral, and physical activity
• Refer appropriate patients for metabolic surgery
