Addressing Obesity: A Community of Practice Video Series

Register

These short videos illustrate real-world patient scenarios highlighting a PA expert integrating their thoughts, approaches, and best practices as they interact with a patient about obesity including asking permission to discuss weight, taking a weight history, nutrition, physical activity, and treatment options.

The 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.
