Fundamentals of Obesity Treatment - Live Virtual is a multi-module hybrid (on-demand + live-virtual) course offering introductory education about the evidence-based approaches for evaluating, diagnosing, and treating obesity in a clinical setting. The content is appropriate for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, clinicians-in-training, and other healthcare providers who treat patients with the disease of obesity. Prior to the live-virtual case studies, participants will complete on-demand lectures to learn about the basic concepts that define obesity as a disease, the pathophysiology of obesity, and how to evaluate patients for obesity and related diseases using ethical, non-stigmatizing communication. Then, review strategies for treating obesity using four treatment pillars: nutrition therapy, physical activity, behavioral modification, and medical interventions. The live-virtual case studies will take place on February 21, 2026 - participants will work in virtual Zoom breakout groups on patient cases to develop comprehensive treatment plans using interventions in all four treatment pillars. Gain tools to begin developing effective treatment plans for patients affected by obesity in your practice.

The Fundamentals of Obesity Treatment - Virtual course is intended to help clinicians build their foundational knowledge to determine whether they want to pursue more advanced education in obesity medicine. For those who do not want to pursue further education, this course will provide them with the tools to confidently refer their patients with obesity to a specially trained medical professional.

Prior to the live-virtual Case Studies, participants will complete six on-demand lectures covering key topics, including:

1. Understanding the Chronic Disease of Obesity
2. Nutrition Therapy
3. Physical Activity Basics
4. Behavior Modification
5. Surgical Options
6. Medication Management
