The goal of our one-day symposium is to provide health care providers with state-of-the art lectures on currently available options for the treatment of obesity. Increasing this knowledge will make health care providers more likely to be able to address obesity in their patients and help in decreasing weight and improving the outcomes of associated health conditions.
