The inaugural San Diego Obesity Medicine Summit is an in-person meeting scheduled for March 15, 2025, on the University of California San Diego Medical Campus at the T. Denny Sanford Medical Education and Telemedicine Center in La Jolla, CA. Until recently, obesity was considered a stubborn disease of willpower but associated with a myriad of life-threatening complications. Over the last few years it has become well known that hormonal changes make clinically significant weight loss and its maintenance extremely difficult. New highly effective anti obesity medications targeting these pathologic hormone changes are now available, transforming obesity into a treatable disease. The benefits of addressing obesity affects all medical specialties and healthcare professionals. Hear from top obesity medicine experts, key opinion leaders, and authors of landmark articles in the field on how to incorporate effective obesity treatment in your busy practice. We aim to provide attendees with the tools necessary to improve the health of their patients and enhance their quality of life. This conference is organized by the San Diego Obesity Medicine Society. Expert Round Table Discussion Challenging Cases in the Treatment of Obesity Gain practical insights on common issues encountered treating patients with obesity. Real world clinical dilemmas and strategies for their management will be discussed including complex cases in pharmacotherapy such as weight plateaus, “non-responders”, and patients on weight promoting medications. Participants may bring brief challenging patient cases for discussion amongst our expert panel as well as the audience.
