As on previous occasions, this course offers an immersive educational experience on practical aspects of obesity management and the role of interprofessional bariatric care.

The practical course provides a hands-on  learning experience with standardised patients and includes experiential learning  in challenges people living with obesity face in their home and clinical settings.

These include exercises in the Bariatric Speciality Care Suite and Smart Condo.

Group size is limited, but a few spots remain.
