Live, on-site program in Boston, Massachusetts June 29-30, 2026.

This program is a live, in-person 2-day interactive workshop that will be held at the Inn at Longwood Medical in Boston, MA.

The educational content of this course will include several case-discussions that cover critically important and uniquely challenging areas in obesity care.

This course is designed specifically for healthcare providers and industry professionals who are more experienced in their knowledge of obesity medicine. It is recommended that participants have previously attended the Boston Course in Obesity Medicine within the past 2-3 years (this includes our online modular course that is currently available).
