AACE's Live Webinar on Improving Obesity Diagnosis and Treatment through Endocrinology and Primary Care Collaboration offers an extension and further exploration from the enduring modules.  This webinar is held in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic Endocinology division and will be  discussing obesity management, destigmatization and strategies to improve patient adherence.

Live webinars focus on case-based learning (dilemma/decision case types) to allow learners to discuss methods, tactics, and examples to enhance skills:

• Destigmatize obesity to initiate and enhance patient engagement to initiate healthy weight conversation and facilitate discussions on evidence-based obesity treatments. (How to start the conversation, tips/tools)
• Manage obesity with shared decision-making, including AOM pharmacotherapy, bariatric surgery, behavior, and lifestyle interventions to achieve and maintain clinically meaningful, long-term weight loss.
• Implement strategies that lead to improved patient adherence in obesity care.

Upon successful completion of the program, participants should be better able to:   

• Recognize obesity as a chronic, serious disease warranting diagnosis, long-term management, and early intervention to minimize associated comorbidities and psychosocial health consequences. 
• Identify the biological basis of obesity including the role of genetics and hormones on appetite and energy regulation, metabolic adaptation to weight loss, and cardiometabolic risk factors. 
• Destigmatize obesity to initiate and enhance patient engagement in healthy weight conversations and facilitate discussions on evidence-based obesity treatments in healthcare settings. 
• Manage obesity with shared decision making, including AOM pharmacotherapy, bariatric surgery, behavior, and lifestyle interventions to achieve and maintain clinically meaningful, long-term weight loss. 
• Implement strategies that lead to improved patient adherence in obesity care.
