Description
Obesity ranks among the most important and rapidly growing contributors to the global non-communicable disease (NCD) burden. With global and Indian obesity rates rising sharply, physicians face a critical need to reframe obesity as more than just a lifestyle disorder. The Essentials of Obesity Management course is your entry point into a structured, evidence-based approach to tackling obesity across its lifecycle—rooted in metabolic science, behavioral strategies, and multidisciplinary integration.
The Essentials of Obesity Management course offers a structured, evidence-based entry point into the modern clinical approach to obesity, treating it not merely as a lifestyle concern but as a complex, relapsing chronic disease. Designed to align with real-world practice, the curriculum spans five comprehensive modules that delve into the science of energy balance, neurohormonal regulation, and adipose tissue dynamics. You'll explore the evolving epidemiology of obesity, risk-based classification methods, and advanced diagnostic profiling, including comorbidities and long-term complications. Core therapeutic strategies such as motivational interviewing, lifestyle modification, and pharmacologic interventions—from GLP-1 analogues to time-restricted feeding and structured exercise are taught alongside essential communication techniques, stigma reduction approaches, and patient advocacy principles—equipping you to provide empathetic, multidisciplinary, and outcome-oriented care.
Every component is clinically anchored and pedagogically aligned to ensure high retention, immediate applicability, and professional relevance. Whether you're in primary care, internal medicine, or public health, this course enables you to identify and manage obesity in both early and advanced stages.
Upon completing the Essentials of Obesity Management course, you will receive a certificate and be well- equipped not just with knowledge—but with tools, language, and decision-making pathways to deliver comprehensive, compassionate, and competent obesity care.
