Special Features

Advanced diagnostic precision- Indian-specific anthropometric thresholds integrated with DEXA/CT imaging and metabolic panels for accurate phenotyping and risk stratification.

Pathophysiology-driven treatment algorithms- Evidence-based, stepwise protocols spanning GLP-1 agonists, SGLT-2 inhibitors, metformin, and statin initiation—tailored to each patient’s neuroendocrine and inflammatory biomarker profile.

Multidisciplinary, tech-enabled care- Seamless integration of AI-powered risk calculators, continuous glucose monitoring data, and structured lifestyle prescriptions, coupled with referral pathways to dietitians, bariatric surgeons, and behavioral specialists for holistic management.

Description

Obesity ranks among the most important and rapidly growing contributors to the global non-communicable disease (NCD) burden. The Essentials of Obesity course is an intensive eight-module clinical certificate that empowers physicians to treat obesity as a chronic disease: you’ll master Indian-specific diagnostic thresholds and advanced imaging, interpret neuroendocrine and inflammatory biomarkers to guide targeted therapy, and implement evidence-based pharmacologic and lifestyle regimens—from GLP-1 analogues to time-restricted feeding and structured exercise. 

Through motivational-interviewing techniques and AI-driven risk calculators, you’ll enhance patient adherence and leverage standardized metrics that allow you to audit outcomes (waist circumference, HbA₁c, lipid targets) for continuous quality improvement. This course equips you to deliver measurable, guideline-directed obesity care from the first consultation through long-term management.

Whether you are a primary care physician, specialist, or allied health professional, this course provides the tools to navigate obesity’s multifaceted nature and implement evidence-based care to diagnose, stratify and treat obesity as a chronic disease:
