Tailored to your learning needs
Obesity medicine is evolving rapidly. New pharmacotherapies, emerging clinical trial data, updated guidelines, international consensus statements and changing models of care mean there is always something new to integrate into clinical practice.
Rather than following a fixed curriculum, each ObesityMed session is shaped by the learning priorities of the participating GPs. Before each session, participants are invited to submit the topics, questions or areas of practice they would like explored. These may include:
Recent evidence from clinical trials and real-world practice
Current, new and emerging obesity therapies
Australian and international guidelines and consensus recommendations
Practical approaches to the management of overweight and obesity
GLP-1 based and other pharmacological therapies
Bariatric surgery and surgical treatment pathways
Challenging clinical concepts or areas of uncertainty
Discussion of de-identified clinical cases to illustrate principles of evidence-based care
Across the program, we cover the pathophysiology of obesity, its complications, and the management of associated comorbidities — alongside the practical application of treatments, including medical and surgical interventions, and current dietary, psychological and exercise guidelines, ensuring learning extends across a genuinely multidisciplinary framework.
Sessions run in beginner, intermediate and extension streams, scheduled back-to-back — you choose the time slot and stream that best matches your experience and learning goals. Every session is designed to provide practical, evidence-based education that can be translated into everyday clinical practice.
There's no need to choose just one session. Access to ObesityMed is unlimited — attend a single session or come back to many. As the evidence and therapies in this field keep evolving, most GPs find it useful to check in periodically and upskill, rather than treating it as a one-off session.
Educational scope
ObesityMed is a tailored educational program designed to support GPs' continuing professional development in obesity medicine. Sessions are intended to facilitate discussion of the current evidence base, evolving clinical practice and general management principles.
ObesityMed does not provide direct medical advice for your patients.
The program does not provide patient-specific medical advice or individual case management. Any clinical cases discussed must be fully de-identified and are used solely for educational purposes. Responsibility for all clinical assessment, decision-making and patient management remains entirely with the treating clinician.
Independent Medical Education
ObesityMed is Independent Medical Education (IME) — funded by the pharmaceutical industry on a non-exclusive basis, and developed and delivered independently of any sponsor. Educational content, direction and discussion are determined solely by Dr Lanyon-Roberts.
Sponsors have no role in developing, reviewing or approving session content.
Sponsors do not select or approve participants, and do not attend or otherwise access sessions.
Sponsors receive no attendee-identifying information and no details of case discussions — only aggregate, de-identified participation data (such as total GP numbers) may be shared, for transparency.
No sponsor relationship is required to attend, and there is never a cost for participating GPs. ObesityMed is not exclusive to any single sponsor — additional educational partners may be added over time.
