The Obesity Medicine Start-Up Course & Toolkit
Confidently Treat Obesity. From Your First Patient Visit to Long-Term Follow-Up
For Clinicians Ready to Confidently Integrate Obesity Medicine Into Everyday Practice
A complete, real-world CME program designed by Dr. Carolynn Francavilla, 2025 Obesity Medicine Association Clinician of the Year, to help clinicians integrate obesity medicine into daily practice with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
Begin Your Journey to Confident, Compassionate Obesity CareYou Don’t Need a Fellowship to Practice Obesity Medicine Competently.
You just need a clear roadmap.
You’ve done the work, completed your CME, maybe even passed your ABOM boards, and yet there’s still a gap between what you know and what you can confidently apply in the room with a patient.
If you’ve ever left a lecture or logged off a webinar thinking, “That makes sense in theory, but how do I actually do this with my patients?”
You’re not alone.
That’s the problem with most CME. It gives you the information, not the integration.
Because It’s Time to Bridge the Gap Between Knowledge and Practice.
After years of teaching, mentoring, and running a full-scale obesity medicine program, Dr. Francavilla saw the same issue everywhere:
Clinicians weren’t lacking expertise; they were lacking a system that connects the science to the clinic.
That realization became the foundation for The Obesity Medicine Start-Up Course & Toolkit, a program designed to help you turn clinical knowledge into daily practice with clarity and confidence.
It’s not about memorizing treatment algorithms or earning another credential.
It’s about feeling equipped to:
Start the conversation with confidence
Guide your patients through sustainable change
Manage billing and follow-up efficiently
Enjoy practicing medicine again
In short, this course turns your training into a tangible, real-world impact.
What You’ll Learn Inside
The Bridge Between Knowledge and Confident Clinical Practice
This isn’t about learning more; it’s about learning what actually matters.
In 14 CME-accredited hours, you’ll gain the practical frameworks, patient-ready language, and clinical confidence to finally integrate obesity medicine into your daily workflow.
Watch at your own pace, complete it in a weekend, and walk away ready to apply it Monday morning.
The CME That Cuts Through the Noise
You didn’t go into medicine to check boxes or sit through another lecture that leaves you thinking, “Okay, but now what?”
You got into this field to actually help people and to do it well.
That’s where this course changes the game.
Most CMEs hand you the theory and walk away.
This one hands you the application. It’s real, unfiltered, and built for clinicians who want to stop second-guessing and start practicing obesity medicine like pros.
Inside, you’ll:
- Command the exam room with evidence-based confidence.
- Connect clinical science to real results for your patients.
- Streamline your systems so you’re leading care, not chasing paperwork.
- Find your rhythm in obesity medicine and finally feel like it fits.
This isn’t about adding another certification to your wall; it’s about reclaiming your confidence in the exam room and elevating how you show up for every patient.
Because when your approach clicks, everything changes: your outcomes, your referrals, your energy, and the way you see your work.
