Description
With the continued prevalence of obesity, patients continue seeking surgical and non-surgical approaches to help with weight loss and the resolution of comorbidities. For physicians, allied health professionals and nurses to provide the high quality of care, they must keep up with the current medical innovations and changes to pre- and post-operative care. The goal of this course is to educate learners on research, outcomes, new and upcoming procedures through
didactics, patient panels and breakout sessions.
