Severe obesity and its complications are best managed by an interdisciplinary team including both surgical and medical providers. This session will utilize presentations by leading experts, panel discussions, and dedicated time for interactive Q&A to cover best practice recommendations for the pre- and post-operative management of patients undergoing metabolic-bariatric surgery. Topics will include optimizing pre-operative care, as well as recognizing and developing approaches to the variability in post-operative weight loss and remission rates of obesity-related complications in both adult and pediatric patients.
Generating and Interpreting Evidence about Effects in Obesity Research: Reducing Error and Strengthening Inferences
On-Demand Access
CME credits: 6
Price: $150 (On-demand recording access included)
Limitations or errors in study design, data analysis, and data interpretation appear to underlie many of the misconceptions common in the public’s and professional communities’ understanding of obesity. This highly interactive webinar will help learners to interpret and communicate research with greater accuracy and fidelity to scientific principles and will help researchers to conduct research with greater rigor, reproducibility, and transparency. Leading experts will address randomized control trials, epidemiologic analysis, modeling and simulation studies, meta-analysis, and quasi- and natural-experiments. Stump-the-professor-style questions and answers sessions will address some of the most challenging concepts and research problems.
Overcoming Methodological Challenges in Obesity Research
On-Demand Access
CME credits: 3.5
Price: $150 (On-demand recording access included)
How can we tell that the associations we read in the literature or use in our studies are giving us the right answers? Inferring causality from statistical models can lead to misconceptions in understanding obesity, its causes and consequences. This webinar draws on leading researchers from across the world to help attendees understand pitfalls that interfere with causal inference in obesity research using observational and clinic data. The goal of the webinar is to help attendees improve the quality of their own research, increase their impact, and improve understanding of obesity studies in the literature. Leading experts will address causal inference, Mendelian Randomization, the meaning of race in statistical models, and methods to use mobile technologies in clinic settings. Have an opportunity to ask leading experts about randomization techniques, causal modeling and causal inference, body composition measurement, and mobile health intervention methods.
