Your Role in the Obesity Epidemic: Obesity Management for Busy Independent Pharmacies

Obesity affects nearly one in three Canadian adults, and community pharmacists are uniquely positioned to support people navigating this complex chronic disease. This practical session cuts through the noise to deliver what independent community pharmacists need to know about current obesity pharmacotherapy options and the
evidence of managing obesity in their practice.
We’ll explore patient selection, counselling strategies, managing expectations, and addressing common barriers. This will be done through the lens of everyday pharmacy practice. Whether you’re approaching a person with obesity or fielding questions about medications they have seen on social media or supporting people already on therapy, you’ll leave with actionable tools to enhance your practice and improve obesity outcomes.
