WHY ATTEND?
Join us for an engaging lunch symposium designed for clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of the inflammatory processes underlying obesity. Faculty will explore the role of adipose tissue and obesity-related inflammation, as well as the effects of current obesity medications on weight, comorbidities, and inflammation.
The program will also examine amylin physiology and its relationship to obesity, with a focus on emerging amylin-based therapies, including amylin receptor agonists and GLP-1/amylin coagonists. Faculty will review the current evidence, areas of uncertainty, and the potential role of these therapies in the evolving treatment landscape.
Led by experts in the field, this symposium will connect the underlying science of obesity with advances in treatment, providing practical insights to help clinicians better understand current and emerging therapeutic approaches and their potential implications for patient care.
Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the evolving science of obesity treatment and gain insights to inform your clinical practice. Register today!
This educational activity is intended for physicians (MDs/DOs), advanced practice professionals (nurse practitioners and physician associates), pharmacists, and nurses who care for patients with obesity or overweight, including those specializing in endocrinology, obesity medicine, and primary care.
