We understand the connection between people with obesity and the health care professionals who treat them is of utmost importance. We want to strengthen that relationship and provide the resources, tools, and support that’s needed to deliver person-centric care.
We’re committed to continuing education through the ADA's Institute of Learning — with more than 70 free webinars, courses, and self-assessments to elevate your knowledge of obesity and its care.
