Weight Can't Wait

A guide for the management of obesity in the Primary Care Setting

The Weight Can’t Wait guide fills the gap in obesity management training and provides healthcare professionals with a short, accessible, practical, and informative guide to effective obesity care.

 

The Weight Can’t Wait guide is separated into three sections that represent the primary care settings in which effective obesity care takes place: pre-encounter, encounter, and post-encounter. An additional curated resources list is also available for download below.
