Clinician uptake of obesity-related drug information: A qualitative assessment using continuing medical education activities
Conclusions: Clinicians' knowledge of medication-related weight gain may lead them to overestimate the benefits of a drug in relation to its metabolic risks. The knowledge base of pediatricians appears comparable to their counterparts in adult medicine, even though metabolic drug effects in children have only become prevalent recently.

Provider Practice and Perceptions of Pediatric Obesity in Appalachian Kentucky.
CONCLUSIONS: There remains a significant need for education and guidance regarding the implementation of expert recommendations for addressing pediatric obesity in Appalachian Kentucky. Providers reported needing multiple community resources, including improved physical education programs, access to community recreation centers, additional referral resources for multidisciplinary care, and additional training in motivational techniques. We discuss the implications for disseminating and implementing expert recommendations in rural eastern Kentucky, with an emphasis on the roles of behavioral health experts. PMID: 316827...

Viewpoint regarding the limited nutrition education opportunities for physicians worldwide.
Authors: Hicks KK, Murano PS Abstract Current trends in obesity and modifiable chronic disease are on the rise globally. Yet in primary care nutrition and lifestyle counseling, potentially the 'first line of defense' to address public health concerns, is limited. Unfortunately, nutrition and lifestyle education in the medical education curriculum is minimal and, in many countries, on the decline. Patients however expect their primary healthcare provider to assist them with diet and lifestyle modification to prevent and delay progression of chronic disease. This is indeed a paradox: the lack of nutrition focused edu...

APA Paper Describes How Psychiatrists Can Improve Health of SMI Patients
Psychiatrists should routinely screen patients with serious mental illness (SMI) for common medical conditions, counsel them on lifestyle modifications to reduce cardiovascular risk factors, and coordinate with their primary care physicians to narrow the longevity gap between this group and the general population. These were some of the conclusions in awhite paper that APA issued yesterday at a Capitol Hill briefing.More than a decade has passed since researchers found that people with SMI treated in the public mental health system are dying on average 25 years earlier than the general population. “The majority of these ...

Medical Problems Referred to a Care of the Elderly Physician: Insight for Future Geriatrics CME.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings support geriatric CME for the common medical problems encountered. Chronic pain, diabetes, obesity and insomnia continue to be important unresolved issues previously unacknowledged by physicians as CME topics of need. Future CME focusing more on process of geriatric care may also be relevant. PMID: 23983827 [PubMed]

Imaging individuals with obesity
Medical imaging is integral to the diagnosis and management of the co-morbidities associated with obesity. While individuals with obesity are increasingly imaged within Medical Radiation Science practice, identifying and understanding the challenges of imaging patients with obesity is an essential requirement for all Medical Radiation Practitioners (MRPs). This Continuing Medical Education article introduces key concepts related to imaging this patient group, explores technical considerations and system limitations within planar radiography, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine (NM), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ...

Skin changes and manifestations associated with the treatment of obesity
In light of the increasing prevalence of obesity, a large proportion of patients are taking weight loss medications or undergoing weight loss procedures. The typical paradigm for treating obesity begins with lifestyle interventions and progresses to medical treatments, and when nonsurgical interventions have failed, procedural techniques are considered. The effect of these interventions on the skin and dermatologic conditions has not been reviewed in depth. Herein, we review the impact of weight loss on pre-existing dermatologic conditions, as well as the development of novel skin changes and consequences of redundant skin...

Are medical educators following General Medical Council guidelines on obesity education: if not why not?
Conclusions: Students' educational experiences differ due to diverse interpretations of GMC guidelines, educators' perceptions of available support for, and student interest in obesity management education. Findings inform the development of potential solutions to these challenges which may be tested further empirically.
