ENP81: Obesity Fellows Program

ENP81: Obesity Fellows Program

Author: Endocrine Society December 20, 2023 Duration: 12:10
According to the National Institutes of Health, more than two in five adults have obesity in the United States, and nearly one in three is overweight. To equip health care practitioners with the resources they need to treat patients with obesity, the Endocrine Society recently held its innaugual obesity fellows program, an exclusive, application-based, educational activity for current fellows. The program covered a wealth of information, and host Aaron Lohr talks with Amy Rothberg, MD, DABOM, program chair and a clinical professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health. If you weren’t able to attend the fellows program, we have a free series of on-demand lectures available online, and those are accredited. With thanks to Lilly USA LLC and Novo Nordisk for making both the obesity fellows program and this podcast episode possible through an unrestricted, educational grant. Show notes, including a link to the Endocrine Society Learning Center for earning ABIM points and AMA PRA Category 1 credits, are available at https://www.endocrine.org/podcast/enp81-obesity-fellows-program — for helpful links or to hear more podcast episodes, visit https://www.endocrine.org/podcast

Ever wondered how the latest scientific discoveries actually translate to patient care or what drives the decisions of leading clinicians and researchers? The Endocrine News Podcast, produced by the Endocrine Society, sits down with those very experts to pull back the curtain on a rapidly evolving field. Each conversation goes beyond the headlines of journal articles, exploring the real-world implications of new findings in diabetes, thyroid disorders, hormone-related cancers, and countless other conditions. You’ll hear researchers explain the nuance behind their data, clinicians debate emerging treatment protocols, and thought leaders outline where the science is headed next. This isn't a dry lecture; it's a direct line to the people shaping modern endocrinology. The discussions are grounded and accessible, designed for anyone with a professional or deep personal interest in hormonal health. Whether you're a practicing physician, a trainee, a dedicated patient advocate, or simply fascinated by how the body's intricate systems work, this podcast offers substantive insights. Tuning in provides a unique way to stay current with the trends and controversies that define the specialty today. The entire archive is a free resource, reflecting the Society's mission to advance endocrine science and public understanding. Suggestions for future topics are always welcome, keeping the dialogue connected to the community's most pressing questions.
