Professional Practice Gap

Treating pediatric patients with obesity is not something that was taught in medical school when many pediatricians and family medicine physicians were trained. There has been an increase in the number of Type 2 Diabetic pediatric patients during the past few years. It is important that members of the healthcare team have the knowledge and skills to treat pediatric patients that have obesity and Type 2 diabetes.

Relevant to the content of this educational activity, the planning committee members and speaker indicated they have no financial relationships with commercial interests to disclose.
