Rapid Clinical Updates: GLP-1 and Obesity Management for Hospital Medicine

Obesity is projected to affect more than 50% of Americans by 2030 though, despite this epidemic, obesity remains chronically undertreated. Highly effective anti-obesity medications (e.g. GLP-1 receptor agonists) have revolutionized the landscape of obesity treatment and have the potential to close the obesity care gap. Participants will learn evidence-based obesity care strategies relevant for the hospitalized patient including how to manage GLP-1 receptor agonists. We will additionally discuss the broader societal impact of GLP-1s and review practical strategies to reduce weight bias and stigma in healthcare systems.
