The Summit is as much a networking event as it is a cutting-edge research conference, and it also features dedicated tracts for health practitioners and inspiring workshops organized by groups working in the obesity space. In 2019, Obesity Canada plans to welcome 650+ delegates to the The Westin Ottawa. Watch for abstract submission and registration dates – the Summit sells out quickly! Multidisciplinary focus for all areas of interest: • Prevention and Public Health • Health Law & Health Policy • Treatment & Management • Molecular Biology, Genetics & Physiology • Psychology & Mental Health • Neuroscience of Ingestive Behaviour • Environments Conducive to Healthy Lifestyles • Advertising to Children & School Programs • Diet, Physical Activity & Healthy Living • Weight Bias & Discrimination • Maternal & Fetal Origins The 6th Canadian Obesity Summit will be the premier learning and networking event for: • Health professionals • Researchers • Policy makers • Industries related to obesity prevention & management • Media We look forward to welcoming you to Banff, Alberta.

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.

  • 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).
