Today on MedNet21, we're going to discuss Obesity: Evaluation, Treatment, and How to Talk About it With Patients.

Listeners of this presentation should learn background information on obesity, including its prevalence, multifactorial causes, and consequences. They should also learn methods to evaluate and treat obesity in patients – treatment methods which should include focusing on nutrition, physical activity, emotion/behavior, and medication/surgery. Finally, listeners will learn how to talk about weight with their patients in a non-judgmental, non-stigmatizing way.
