In collaboration with The France Foundation, the Weitzman Institute is offering Weitzman ECHO Weight Management in Community Health. This ECHO series is a no-cost, 10-session continuing education series for clinicians facing significant challenges in community health care with regard to the formal diagnosis and management of obesity.

Weight Management in Community Health ECHO connects primary care medical providers, behavioral health providers, and other members of the care team to a community of peers and subject matter experts to improve providers’ skills in addressing weight management with patients. At each session, subject matter experts provide guidance from a multidisciplinary team approach to address patients’ complex health needs related to obesity to better assess, treat, and care for patients.

This ECHO series:

  • Meets regularly to create a community of practice via Zoom every 2nd Thursday for one hour over 10 months
  • Delivers a curriculum to address the educational needs of the multidisciplinary clinical care team caring for patients with obesity or overweight
  • Consists of practical presentations with clinical pearls on topics including establishing patient trust, lifestyle management, and anti-obesity medications
  • Offers the opportunity to present patient cases to receive actionable recommendations from multidisciplinary faculty and participating peer clinicians

Seats are limited, register today!

Free CME and CE credits will be provided for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, clinical social workers, nurses, dietitians, and pharmacists, among others, by Moses/Weitzman Health System, an accredited provider through Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education.
