-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Register now! Columbia University Institute of Human Nutrition's Obesity Course is April 13-17, 2016.
The course is an excellent overview for all health professionals and has received outstanding reviews by past participants from the full range of health professions, including dietitians, nutritionists, dentists, nurses, physicians, and physician assistants.
For physicians interested in obtaining obesity medicine certification through the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM), this course will satisfy the ABOM requirement of at least 30 hours of live CME credit on the topic of obesity.
Program Description and ObjectivesVisit our website for speaker highlights and expanded biographies at: http://cumc.columbia.edu/ihn/education/Obesitycourse_CME
Lifestyle behaviors including diet, physical inactivity, alcohol abuse, and tobacco use have been linked to increased risk of leading causes of death and chronic diseases. The challenge of reversing the obesity epidemic in the US and beyond has highlighted the need for new ways to teach complex skill sets which effectively target lifestyle behaviors, particularly diet and physical activity. However, most health professionals, with the exception of registered dietitians, have little or no training in the science of nutrition, diet and physical activity. Moreover, health professionals lack training in facilitating behavior change. Many, in fact, do not engage in nutrition counseling at all.
