In 2022, approximately 1 in 8 people worldwide were living with obesity. Over the past year, half of individuals reported attempting to lose weight. However, despite these efforts, studies show that 80-95% of people who lose weight regain it within 3-5 years, often due to biological, psychological, and environmental factors. This activity is designed to help primary care providers learn ways to support patients who want to lose weight or are already under the care of a bariatric specialist. Providers will learn about the physiology of obesity, FDA-approved weight loss medications, and how to use them in clinical practice.

1. Explain and evaluate the effectiveness of anti-obesity medications.
2. Analyze the latest guidelines and recommendations for anti-obesity medications.
3. Integrate lifestyle modifications to develop weight loss treatment plans.
