| 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. |
| 2. 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. |
