Thousands of patients present every day with obesity plus a weight-related disease that worsens with weight gain and improves with weight loss. Recent advances in strategies for management of obesity — including surgical, medical, endoscopic/procedural, and counseling/motivational — have created opportunities for weight loss success but have left a knowledge deficit among many providers who care for obese patients. This single-day symposium brings together a diverse and experienced set of providers to present a comprehensive review of the field, including need for greater coordination of services and greater awareness of how to access the resources around us. Join us for this opportunity to meet and interact with the full range of providers who can assist our patients.   Visit the CME Course Webpage ›   View the Course Brochure ›     Instructors: Course Directors: Jeffrey A.
