TOS/Endocrine Society Joint Symposium: Personalized Medicine for Obesity and Its Complications – From Bench to Bedside
When: Thursday, 11/3/2022, 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Where: San Diego Convention Center-31ABC
Description: The past 30 years have brought remarkable advances in our understanding of the biology of appetite and weight regulation. The leptin-melanocortin systems and gut peptides have emerged as key regulators of body weight homeostasis. How have these advances altered clinical practice? Attendees will learn how understanding of neuroendocrine regulation of appetite-regulation has progressed from discovery to clinical application for rare and common forms of obesity.

This session was jointly produced by The Obesity Society (TOS) and the Endocrine Society.

Learning Objective: Understand the evidence-based science regarding neuroendocrine, environmental, endocrine, microbiota and/or cognitive behavioral mechanisms regulating energy balance and body weight. Apply that knowledge to develop and implement treatment options for adults and pediatric patients with overweight, obesity or obesity-related co-morbidities.
