AACE’s Transforming Patient Care with the Obesity Algorithm: Practical Insights is a complimentary webinar designed to equip health care professionals with practical, evidence-based strategies for the effective management of obesity as a serious, progressive chronic disease. Participants will explore the importance of proactive screening, accurate staging, and long-term treatment to prevent complications and address obesity-related comorbidities.
Through guided application of current clinical guidance and the AACE Obesity Algorithm, learners will gain the skills needed to select, initiate, and optimize individualized obesity treatment plans in everyday practice. The course emphasizes comprehensive care, integrating lifestyle interventions and pharmacotherapy tailored to patient-specific factors.
In addition, faculty highlight bias-free, patient-centered communication strategies that foster trust, improve engagement, and support shared decision-making.
