Free Webinar -- Prevention, Assessment, and Treatment of Childhood Obesity: What Does Success Look Like?
RD’s and DTR’s are you providing care to children between the ages of 3-18 and looking for successful clinical models of care for childhood obesity? Hear from two clinician teams who successfully helped their pediatric patient reach their weight-loss goals. You will have the opportunity to learn how to overcome barriers to successfully implementing weight-loss interventions to pediatric patients, understand the goals of the Healthier Generation Benefit -- how it relates to your practice and implementation through participating organizations and how to use it as a platform for reimbursement.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is one of several participants involved in the Healthier Generation Benefit (HGB ), a landmark event in the prevention, assessment and treatment of childhood obesity. A component of the Benefit includes children and families' access to nutrition counseling provided by RDs.
