OAK BROOK, Ill. - July 26, 2023 - PRLog -- American Physician Institute (API), a leading provider of high-yield continuing medical education, recently announced its newest course for medical professionals, "Updates on Anti-Obesity Medications." This online course (https://www.thepassmachine.com/anti-obesity-medications-course/) offers up-to-date, critical information about obesity medications with detailed advice for creating effective patient-focused obesity treatment plans.

According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, over forty percent (41.9% (https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.html)) of adults in the United States suffer from obesity. This means the demand for effective patient care that addresses this growing health epidemic as a chronic disease is rising.

The new "Updates on Anti-Obesity Medications" series, which launched on July 25, offers a comprehensive review of obesity treatment using medication. All lectures in the course series are available online and 12 months of access to the lectures is provided with purchase, so participants can work at a pace that is comfortable for them. In addition, there is the option to claim CME credits after reviewing all the lectures. The course can be accessed at https://www.thepassmachine.com/anti-obesity-medications-course/.

Topics covered in the course include determining appropriate treatment plans, reviews of major studies on obesity and body weight, the spectrum of available treatment options, and the use of weight loss drugs and pharmacology in obesity treatment. Lectures are presented by industry specialists Laura Davisson, MD, MPH, FACP, and Angela Goodhart, PharmD.

Dr. Jack Krasuski, executive director of American Physician Institute, said the course was developed to help providers in the medical community create patient-specific obesity treatment plans that involve prescription drugs to improve the care they provide. As treatment plans increasingly include obesity medications, it's vital that clinicians understand the most prescribed medications and the treatment strategies surrounding them to help patients lose weight.

"This obesity medication course is a must-have for every clinician who wants to stay up to date on the latest developments in the safety profiles, efficacy, and indications of the most-used obesity medications on the market today," Dr. Krasuski said. "I highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to provide the best possible care for their patients with obesity."
