Beyond the Scale: Integrating New Obesity Guidelines into Clinical Practice
A practical session for clinicians who want to move beyond weight alone and adopt a more comprehensive, evidence-informed approach to obesity care.
Oct 14, 2026 — 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Every Wednesday
Obesity is a complex, chronic disease shaped by multiple biological, behavioural, environmental, and social factors. As clinical guidance continues to evolve, healthcare professionals need practical approaches to translate current recommendations into everyday patient care.
Join Dr. Marie-Philippe Morin, specialist in General Internal Medicine and Bariatric Medicine and Head of General Internal Medicine at the Institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec, for a practical review of the latest approaches to the diagnosis and management of adult obesity.
This session will explore how to integrate current obesity guidelines into clinical practice, including medical treatment, pharmacotherapy, and follow-up after bariatric surgery.
Learning objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Briefly explain the pathophysiology and multifactorial causes of obesity in adults.
- Review current guidelines for the diagnosis and management of obesity.
- Integrate medical treatment of obesity, including pharmacotherapy, into clinical practice.
