FELLOW SPOTLIGHT
"I loved that the Weill Cornell Obesity Medicine Fellowship gave me a full clinical immersion experience. Learning from the experts and treating this patient population everyday allowed me to become adept at counseling patients on different diets and at prescribing various pharmacotherapy regimens."
"This is a field that requires passion and sensitivity. As patients lose and gain weight, one may become frustrated, but we must remember that patients view us as a counselor probably more than a health care provider and look to us to for empathy as well as knowledge. This field is also relatively new, so there are many opportunities for research and innovation.
"My interest in obesity medicine grew during residency from seeing a large proportion of patients in my primary care clinic as well as in the in-patient services with obesity, and many of the obesity-related comorbid conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, osteoarthritis, etc. I often felt that we were band-aiding their problems, instead of addressing the root cause which was their increase in weight. As a trainee, I felt completely inept in giving dietary advice or offering medical treatments to patients with obesity. There was very limited training on how to counsel patients on lifestyle interventions, and no training in obesity treatment both during medical school and Internal Medicine residency. So I decided that additional training in obesity medicine would be imperative to care for my patient population and did a fellowship in Medical Weight Management and Nutrition at Boston University."
"Fellowship gave me the education and clinical experience I needed to be able to provide the best possible treatment for patients with obesity. It has also distinguished me from primary care physicians who practice medical weight loss and physicians with only ABOM certification."
"Fellowship training gives you a higher level of expertise in obesity medicine. I would recommend it highly for those who are looking to distinguish themselves as experts in the field."
