Description: Women frequently rely on their OB/GYN as their primary source of healthcare, particularly during their reproductive years. Many of these individuals may be living with overweight or obesity, placing the OB/GYN in a uniquely positioned and trusted role to support healthy weight management and broader metabolic health goals.

Pharmacotherapy—including GLP-1 receptor agonists—can be an important tool within a comprehensive, patient-centered approach. Through this program, OB/GYNs will develop a deeper understanding of how to appropriately identify candidates for GLP-1 RA therapy across different stages of the lifespan and will learn strategies to improve patient access, streamline documentation, and optimize payor authorization and approval.

Kimberley Sampson

Dartmouth Health Southwestern Vermont Medical Center
Department Chair

I am an OB/GYN, lifestyle and obesity medicine physician, and physician leader with a deep commitment to evidence-based care, equity, and clinician well-being. I currently serve as Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at a rural community hospital in Vermont and as an Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at an academic medical center, where I remain actively involved in medical education, quality improvement, and systems-level change.

My clinical and scholarly work sits at the intersection of women’s health, metabolic health, menopause, lifestyle medicine, and the impact of bias and stigma in healthcare. I am particularly interested in how culture, systems, and unspoken norms shape both patient care and clinician experience—and how we can design environments that support dignity, psychological safety, and sustainable practice.

As a CME group leader, I aim to create learning spaces that are thoughtful, practical, and human-centered. I value honest dialogue, reflection grounded in real clinical experience, and discussion that bridges evidence with lived reality. My facilitation style emphasizes curiosity, respect, and shared learning, with the goal of helping clinicians feel more supported, more skilled, and more aligned with their values in practice.

I believe continuing medical education is most powerful when it not only informs what we do, but also reconnects us to why we do it.
