The impact of weight on health is a major focus of the medical and dietetic fields, yet weight stigma is prevalent in healthcare and is unaccounted for in mainstream obesity research. This webinar will review the growing body of research identifying negative physical and psychosocial health consequences of weight stigma, and attendees will leave with a better understanding of how to critically assess obesity research and evaluate their own biases and assumption, enabling them to provide better patient care.

The live version of this webinar was presented on Wednesday, March 27, 2019, from 2-3 pm ET, by Carrie Dennett, MPH, RDN, CD. This recorded version is approved for one hour of continuing education credit. RDs should list code 175 for this activity type.
