Obesity Basics and Bias

We understand that as a healthcare professional, finding time to learn and apply new information amidst a busy schedule can be challenging.

That’s where we come in! Obesity Canada has created a series of short videos on the Basics and Bias of obesity management hosted by leading Canadian experts. These videos are part of our growing suite of educational materials perfect for any busy healthcare professional who interacts with people who live with obesity.

We hope these short, but impactful, videos will help reshape perceptions, change the conversation with patients, and ultimately improve care.
