Obesity Surgery Care Program

Introduction

The Virtual Medical Academy in collaboration with the Integrated Care for Surgical Obesity is pleased to announce the upcoming Program entitled "Obesity Surgery Care Program".
The number of obesity surgeries in the MENA and Gulf areas is increasing. After surgery, all patients need lifelong Care. This Care should be provided by an integrated team, i.e. nutritionists, physicians, psychiatrists, physical therapy doctors, endocrinologists, and surgeons. It is challenging for the patient to move from one clinic to another because of financial issues. So, in Gulf and MENA regions, Care is usually given to obese Patients by their surgeon or, family doctor, or nutritionist. These doctors do not have all the knowledge needed for post-obesity surgery care. This program is designed to offer broad exposure to obesity care. The goal of the program is to support and guide healthcare practitioners in acquiring the knowledge and clinical acumen required to provide outstanding and efficient Care to obese patients before and after surgery.
