Zello, Chair, Obesity Chair, Science Committee, Obesity Canada Canada Science Committee & Dr. Arya M. Sharma, Professor, Nutrition and Scientific Director, Obesity Canada Dietetics College of Pharmacy and Nutrition Creating an Obesity Community University of Saskatchewan After six Summits over more than a decade, where are we? Welcome to the 6th Canadian Obesity Summit. We are grateful you have made the choice to be here, learning and sharing with peers, creating new connections and solidifying your place in Canada’s wider obesity prevention and treatment community. This community is what the Summit has always been about. Arya M. Sharma, MD/ More than a decade ago, when our first event was held in Alberta, Obesity PhD, FRCPC Canada recognized that all of the pieces needed to prevent and treat Professor of Medicine obesity effectively seldom had any contact with one another. Physicians University of Alberta went to physicians’ meetings, dietitians went to dietetics conferences, Scientific Director, Obesity Canada policy makers went to policy workshops, and so on. What the millions of Canadians living with obesity (and the millions more at risk for developing it) needed was a wider community of practice, one with like-minded values, a shared lexicon and common goals. The only pathway to creating that community was to get all of you, from across disciplines and sectors, into the same room to share your knowledge and expertise and to be inspired by one another. Canadians still need this community to grow and flourish, and, while we have come a long way since 2009, we still have a lot of work to do, together. If you are new to our community, welcome; if you have been with us before, welcome back. Our hope this week is that all of you are challenged, surprised and energized by what you learn and who you meet here in Ottawa. Accreditation The Canadian Obesity Summit is accredited! By attending this program, you are eligible for 4.0 SCOPE points. SCOPE is an internationally-acclaimed obesity education program that helps health professionals understand obesity and how to treat, management and prevent it. You can find more information about SCOPE at www.worldobesity.org/scope. This program is also Continuing Professional Development (CPD) certified.

Describe the role that clinicians have in pre- and post-bariatric surgery care. 2. Identify new tools and evidence for assessing and supporting bariatric surgery patients throughout the bariatric surgery process. 3. Apply medical, nutrition and psychosocial protocols and interventions that improve patient outcomes after bariatric surgery. Abstract: Bariatric surgery is recognized as an effective and durable treatment for severe obesity; however, bariatric and primary care teams require awareness and skills to manage the myriad of pre- and post-operative concerns. Pre-surgery concerns consist of bariatric surgery readiness assessment, surgical risks and psychosocial stability. Further, patients require additional assessment and intervention after surgery, including early recognition of bariatric surgery complications and evidence-informed psychosocial interventions to maintain weight loss and health benefits long-term. This full-day workshop will provide participants with an integrated interprofessional approach to bariatric surgery assessment and aftercare.

  • University of Mount Union Christmas Festival Thursday, December 4, 11:15 A.M., Friday, December 5, 7:30 P.M
    I Sing the Birth University of Mount Union Christmas Festival Thursday, December 4, 11:15 a.m., Friday, December 5, 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, December 6, 7:30 p.m., Myers Sanctuary, Dewald Chapel Christmas at the University of Mount Union With a distinguished legacy that is deeply rooted in the very history of the institution, the choral program at the University of Mount attracts attention wherever and whenever it performs. Crowds gather to take in the musical splendor of our student vocalists – on campus, in the community and around the world. The study of music has played a significant role in the exceptional experience we provide at Mount Union since the very first days of the institution’s 168-year history. It’s fundamental to our philosophy, our liberal arts foundation and our mission to prepare students for fulfilling lives, meaningful work and responsible citizenship. Music is, without a doubt, a long-standing tradition at the University. This evening, we join to hear the performances of our Concert Choir and Cantus Femina, two vocal ensembles that are integral components of our music program. Our annual holiday concert – a relatively new addition to the institution’s rich history of musical performance – unites choral selections and traditional carols with scripture and readings of the season. This event is truly one-of-a-kind, and we, as listeners, have the great fortune of basking in its uniqueness. In past years, audiences have sung the praises of Child of Light, The-Heart-in-Waiting and When All the Stars Held Their Breath and this year’s I Sing the Birth promises to be another outstanding performance that none of us will soon forget.

  • Improving Obesity Management Training in Family Medicine
    Luig et al. BMC Medical Education (2020) 20:5 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-019-1908-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Improving obesity management training in family medicine: multi-methods evaluation of the 5AsT-MD pilot course Thea Luig1, Sonja Wicklum2, Melanie Heatherington1, Albert Vu3, Erin Cameron4, Doug Klein5, Arya M. Sharma6,7 and Denise L. Campbell-Scherer1,5,7,8* Abstract Background: Quality, evidence-based obesity management training for family medicine residents is needed to better support patients. To address this gap, we developed a comprehensive course based on the 5As of Obesity Management™ (ASK, ASSESS, ADVISE, AGREE, ASSIST), a framework and suite of resources to improve residents’ knowledge and confidence in obesity counselling. This study assessed the course’s impact on residents’ attitudes, beliefs, and confidence with obesity counselling. Methods: The course combines lectures with a bariatric empathy suit experience, standardized and in-clinic patient practice, and narrative reflections. Using a multi-methods design we measured changes in 42 residents’ attitudes, beliefs, and self-confidence and thematically analyzed the narrative reflections to understand residents’ experience with the course content and pedagogy. Results: Following the course, residents reported improved attitudes towards people living with obesity and improved confidence for obesity counselling. Pre/post improvement in BAOP scores (n = 32) were significant (p < .001)., ATOP scores did not change significantly. Residents showed improvement in assessing root causes of weight gain (p < .01), advising patients on treatment options (p < .05), agreeing with patients on health outcomes (p < .05), assisting patients in addressing their barriers (p < .05), counseling patients on weight gain during pregnancy, (p < .05), counseling patients on depression and anxiety (p < .01), counseling patients on iatrogenic causes of weight gain (p < .01), counseling patients who have children with obesity (p < .05), and referring patients to interdisciplinary providers for care (p < .05).
