Weight Bias in Clinical Settings: Improving Health Care Delivery for Obese Patients
Research shows that weight stigma in health care settings has a significant negative impact on obese patients’ health. Recognizing that providers face complex challenges in treating their obese patients, this course is designed to help clinicians improve delivery of care for this growing patient population. This course aims to increase awareness of the sources of weight bias in health care and provides a range of practical strategies to optimize the health care experience for overweight and obese patients.
