As a clinician-scientist and an educator deeply involved in obesity management and education, I’m excited about the upcoming National Clinical Obesity Update (NCOU), taking place March 13-15, 2025, in beautiful Montréal, Québec. This is not your typical conference where you sit passively listening to speaker after speaker. We understand healthcare professionals learn differently, and we’ve designed this event to be truly interactive, hands-on, and focused on practical skills you can apply immediately in your practice.

Healthcare professionals—whether you’re a family physician, pharmacist, dietitian, or specialist—face real-world challenges when trying to manage obesity. This conference will equip you with the latest tools, practice information, and evidence-based techniques to manage obesity effectively and confidently. You’ll learn from clinical case sessions, where presenters demonstrate live scenarios, and mock cases, and share real-life decision-making skills. Whether you’re just beginning or want to deepen your expertise, this is a transformative learning opportunity.

The NCOU will also feature panel discussions on critical topics like the future of obesity management, team-based care models, and the unique challenges of treating obesity in adolescents. We will also explore the vital intersection between obesity and mental health—an often-overlooked area that can make a profound difference in patient outcomes.

And, because we believe so strongly in continued learning, every paid registration comes with free access to the Obesity Canada’s Calibre training program to use in 2025. This advanced program will help you dive deeper into guideline implementation and integrate what you learn in the conference, into your daily practice.

Now is the time to act—take advantage of our early bird rates to save on registration and secure your spot at this must-attend event. You won’t want to miss the opportunity to engage face-to-face with peers, thought leaders, and innovators in the field.
