The Louisiana Academy of Family Physicians cordially invites you to attend a CME presentation titled, “Around the Horn on Obesity Management: Identifying Real World Solutions to Long-Term Challenges.”
Program Overview
In the United States, overweight and obesity are highly prevalent, with 70% of American adults affected by either condition. Overweight and obesity are associated with multiple potential medical complications, including metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular complications, among others. Recognition of the potential complications of overweight and obesity, along with respectful, nonstigmatizing discussion and implementation of novel management strategies, are crucial to improving outcomes for patients.
Join Javier Morales, MD, FACP, FACE and colleagues for a CME-accredited activity on diagnosis, management, and respectful discussion of the medical implications of overweight and obesity.
