Take the Next Step in Your Obesity Care Journey
You’ve built the foundation—now it’s time to deepen your skills, sharpen your focus, and start making confident, evidence-informed decisions in clinical situations.
Obesity Canada’s intermediate-level courses are designed for healthcare professionals who are ready to move beyond awareness and start applying core competencies in behaviour change, communication, assessment, and intervention. These courses will challenge you to reflect, apply, and grow—while staying grounded in person-centred, bias-aware care.
Why Intermediate Learning?
Because awareness is not enough. These courses are where competency begins—bridging the gap between knowledge and confident clinical practice. You’ll deepen your understanding of obesity care, strengthen practical skills across diverse topics, and gain tools you can apply immediately to better support people living with obesity.
