New resources available on how to improve treatment of patients with obesity

Three new web-based interactive learning activities from ACP's Online Learning Center address treatment of patients with obesity and offer free CME/MOC credit.


ACP's new comprehensive learning series, providing practical guidance to support members and their medical teams in treating patients with obesity, is available in ACP's Online Learning Center.

The series offers CME/MOC credit that is free for ACP members. Three web-based interactive learning activities address lifestyle modification, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery, and patient education resources are included to bolster physician recommendations and support patient success.

For additional information on this topic, clinicians can also download “Weight Can't Wait: A Guide for the Management of Obesity in the Primary Care Setting,” which was developed by The Stop Obesity Alliance and endorsed by 11 medical organizations, including ACP.
