Description: Patients who are living with obesity or overweight may seek care with an endocrinologist for other comorbidities, some of which may be directly linked to their weight. Weight reduction and management using pharmacotherapy, including GLP-1 RAs, can be a useful strategy to help patients improve not only their weight but also their metabolic health. Through this program, endocrinologists will gain a deeper understanding of how they can appropriately select patients who may benefit from GLP-1 RAs, especially if they have other comorbidities, and apply clinical trial findings to everyday patient care. They will also enhance their understanding of strategies which can improve both patient adherence and payor authorization/approval.
