Program Overview:
Diabetes and obesity have been recognized as public health concerns occurring in epidemic proportions throughout the US and world.

This symposium is a collaborative effort of two of the largest dietetic practice groups of the American Dietetic Association planned to focus on these two distinct but closely related health conditions. Faculty will describe emerging science and trends and provide insights and innovative solutions for improving patient outcomes and risk factor reduction.
