In this engaging activity, which is based on a pre-conference workshop held at OMA 2023, experts in obesity management aim to change misperceptions about obesity and explain best practices for treating this chronic condition, which include the importance of anti-obesity medications (AOMs) in achieving individualized weight goals and improving overall health outcomes by reducing the risk and progression of obesity-related comorbidities. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Initiate appropriate, unbiased, and nonjudgmental conversations with patients about obesity acknowledging it as a chronic, treatable disease rather than a result of personal irresponsibility; Compare the efficacy and safety profiles of current and emerging anti-obesity medications and their potential to support weight loss efforts and minimize the impact of obesity-related comorbidities; and Employ shared decision-making to implement a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan that incorporates appropriate use of long-term anti-obesity medications to achieve and maintain realistic weight loss in people with obesity.
