Practical Strategies to Navigate Obesity Management in Primary Care
Presented by: Tiffany Lowe Clayton, DO, DABOM, MHPE

Specifically, the barriers discussed are those pertaining to the health care provider, such as lack of skills and confidence to discuss weight with your patients, clinician perceptions and biases, and lack of confidence in managing obesity treatment. Learners will actively participate in this session and practice behaviors and skills as they are discussed.
