Course Description:
Obesity is associated with many health complications. Severe obesity can result in increased risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, degenerative joint disease, and psychosocial impairment. There are approximately 5.5 million obese Americans. Sustained weight loss in this population using dietary manipulation, behavioral modification and/or drug therapy is not often successful.
Surgical approaches for the management of morbid obesity have become a promising alternative for patients. A laparoscopic approach to these surgeries is quickly becoming the preferred technique. It significantly limits the incidence of wound infections, incisional hernias, and pulmonary complications, decrease post-operative pain and shorten hospital stay. This intensive two-day course will include didactic lectures, an optional laboratory (cadaver or animal), and live surgery.
Accreditation:
These activities have been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essentials and Standards of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the sponsorship of Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Mount Sinai School of Medicine is accredited by ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians. Mount Sinai School of Medicine designates this continuing medical education activity for a maximum of (see Course Description for number of credits) credits in category 1 credits towards the AMA Physician's Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only those hours that he/she spent in the educational activity.
Corporate Support:
