SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Commonwealth Club of California
(see times)
Touro University California educators and physicians address effective approach to resolving obesity and diabetes at upcoming seminar-
WHAT:
Recent studies show that one in every three Californians currently has diabetes, or pre-diabetes thus creating a need for a new generation of doctors with knowledge to treat the obese patient. Osteopathic physicians and educators from Touro University California will address this need at the upcoming Commonwealth Club of California seminar “An Osteopathic Approach to the Obesity Epidemic: A Timely Remedy.”
Traditional treatments for obesity have been ineffective in addressing this epidemic. For this reason, the university’s highly knowledgeable team will address issues with obesity, including altering diet, incorporating exercise, addressing associated metabolic abnormalities and even environmental factors such as air pollution and climate change and how they all relate to resolution.
The approach taken by researchers at Touro’s new Translational Research Clinic is focused on overall health as opposed to weight and incorporates patient demographics, communication skills and lessons from public health into the training of new physicians.
SPEAKERS FROM TOURO UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA:
CEO & Senior Provost Shelley Berkley
Dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine Dr. Michael Clearfield
Director of the Translational Research Clinic Dr. Jean-Marc Schwarz
