Medical Training AIAdvanced Obesity Management
Work through complex, treatment-resistant obesity cases and build combination pharmacotherapy plans that account for comorbidities and prior treatment failure.
What this track covers
This track covers obesity management beyond first-line therapy: combination and adjunct pharmacotherapy, metabolic syndrome optimization, and coordination of care around bariatric surgery. It's built for clinicians who already manage straightforward cases and want to reason through polypharmacy, psychiatric comorbidities, and treatment resistance.
What you will practice
- Adjust a treatment plan when a patient plateaus or fails to respond to standard therapy
- Evaluate combination and adjunct medication strategies for shared mechanisms and interactions
- Coordinate pre- and post-bariatric surgery management with a surgical team
- Screen for and address eating disorders or psychiatric comorbidities before escalating therapy
- Adjust plans for polypharmacy, elderly patients, or pregnancy planning considerations
Simulator scenario
A patient with treatment-resistant obesity, a psychiatric comorbidity, and a complex medication list presents for reassessment after a bariatric surgery consult.
Board question topics
- Combination pharmacotherapy selection and interactions
- Pre- and post-bariatric surgery management
- Identifying contraindications in psychiatric comorbidities
- Metabolic syndrome workup and management
