Description
This educational workshop aims to provide an overview of evidence based interventions for obesity, and the prevalence and impact of weight bias and stigma, and teach providers strategies to prevent and address weight based stigma, and skills they can use to discuss obesity and weight management with their patients. This program will begin with a series of presentations reviewing surgical, pharmacological, cognitive behavioral, nutritional and physical activity interventions for obesity. The second half of the program will include a presentation on weight bias and weight stigma and strategies for creating an office environment that is free of weight bias and weight stigma. Small group discussion will focus on addressing common barriers to obesity care in various medical settings and techniques for talking about obesity with patients in an empathic and motivating way.
