UBC CPD: The BC Obesity Society Presents Obesity Care in 2026: Practical, Precise, and Primary Care–Focused
June 6 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Cost Varies.
Obesity management is evolving rapidly — and primary care is at the center of it. This comprehensive, start-to-finish conference equips primary care teams with the tools to diagnose obesity beyond BMI, apply effective behavioural strategies, prescribe emerging pharmacotherapy confidently, and navigate surgical pathways across British Columbia.
From motivational interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) informed approaches to ADHD and perimenopause considerations, this program addresses the clinical realities you see every day. Learn when and how to refer for bariatric surgery, how to support patients considering (or returning from) surgery — including bariatric tourism — and what truly matters in follow-up at one month, one year, and beyond.
If you provide longitudinal care, this conference will sharpen your clinical approach, expand your treatment toolkit, and help you deliver precise, compassionate, evidence-based obesity care across the lifespan.
