SEMINARS IN OBESITY EDUCATION

This course is an educational extension of the 6-week Obesity Education Series currently integrated into several course requirements among some of the CUIMC schools. Building off the foundational knowledge presented in the 6-week Obesity Education Series videos and readings, the seminar series will provide small groups of students from different professional schools an opportunity to further enhance their learning through instructor-facilitated discussion. These discussions will be the basis of the course’s weekly interprofessional seminar and occur concurrently with the 6-week Obesity Education Series. There will be a maximum of one reading per week, and no associated homework or graded assignments. Attendance at all course sessions is mandatory. Students will be randomly assigned to either a 4:00 – 5:00pm or a 5:15 – 6:15pm discussion group.
