As obesity care continues to evolve with the rapid adoption of obesity medications, registered dietitian nutritionists play a critical role in optimizing outcomes, improving patient adherence, and supporting long-term success. Yet nutrition care is often underutilized.
This webinar will equip RDNs with practical strategies to demonstrate their clinical and financial value within multidisciplinary obesity care teams.
Dr. Leslie Golden will provide an inside look at the business of obesity medicine, exploring the financial realities of running a practice, reimbursement considerations, and how health coaches and other team members contribute to patient care.
Steph Wagner, MS, RDN, CSOWM, will then highlight the evidence supporting RDN involvement, discuss strategies for reframing nutrition care as an essential component of obesity treatment, and share practical approaches for communicating the value of nutrition services to healthcare leaders and interdisciplinary teams.
