Training Obesity Specialists from Around the Globe



As regular readers may recall, I am one of the founding faculty of the International Association for the Study of Obesity’s (IASO) obesity specialist certification program (SCOPE), where I will once again be presenting several sessions on obesity assessment and management to an audience of physicians and allied health professionals from around the world (I wonder how many countries will be represented this time around).

As members of the Canadian Obesity Network are probably aware, membership in CON now includes a number of important benefits, one of them being reduced registration costs for IASO events – like SCOPE.

I know for sure that at least one Canadian will be at this course (Christian, who also happens to be my post-doc fellow), but there well may be others.

I certainly look forward to another intense course of teaching and learning.
