effective long-term weight-loss options, and a hesitancy among physicians to recognize obesity as a medical condition and discuss weight with their patients. Recent evidence demonstrates that primary care providers are hesitant to recommend weight-loss pharmacotherapies even in guidelinerecommended settings, and many clinicians who do recommend pharmacotherapies prescribe them for too short of a course. This activity will provide clinicians with the latest evidence regarding obesity management in a form that can be readily integrated into practice. Clinicians will also receive real-world strategies for effectively addressing weight with their patients and initiating conversations that can begin to reverse the obesity trend that pervades society. Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: • Adopt strategies to foster effective discussions about weight loss with patients who are overweight • Evaluate the roles and risks/benefits of behavioral and pharmacological weight-loss interventions • Integrate guideline recommendations for assessing obesity in patients and making evidence-based recommendations for weight loss.
