Obesity Management: The Window of Opportunity for Cardiometabolic Clinicians
IAS has created an educational program that comprehensively addresses the management of patients with obesity. This series of pre-recorded videos will close knowledge and practice gaps, reduce clinician uncertainty, and demonstrate how guidelines and evidence can be practically applied. Although this series was developed with a focus on Brazil, it is suitable for a worldwide audience due to the global nature of the obesity epidemic, with nearly half of the world’s population overweight or obese. This continued and significant increase in obesity over the past three decades represents a major public health epidemic that is critical to address.
This series was recorded in English, but is also available with subtitles in Portuguese.
