Learning Objectives:
1. Apply the latest recommendations for evaluation and treatment; tailor intervention strategies based on patient characteristics such as age or metabolic or behavioral phenotype; understand the differences between weight loss and weight loss maintenance.
3. Implement appropriate strategies for diagnosing adolescent and pediatric obesity, evaluate current treatment options and emerging therapeutics and provide care and treatment to adolescent and pediatric patients accordingly. Teach evidence-based strategies for obesity prevention in the pediatric and adolescent population.
