Course Description:
As health care providers we are taught to do no harm. Research in weight centric/biased care and its harmful effects has increased. Training on weight inclusive care is necessary to improve patient care, outcomes, retention, and experience. This differs from the normal healthcare paradigm in that it does not prescribe weight loss as a cure for health/disease and does not place all responsibility for health on the individual. We need to educate health care professionals on this important issue to improve quality of care and outcomes.
