SCOPE’s Core Learning Path from WOF
ELMO in cooperation with World Obesity Federation (WOF) is delighted to announce a 10% discount on the fees of the online course SCOPE’s Core Learning Path to all ELMO active members.
Managing obesity is a challenging task, requiring many skills to be undertaken effectively.
SCOPE’s Core Learning Path consists of eight e-learning modules that focus on obesity management, ranging from understanding how to raise the issue of obesity in a patient attending for an intercurrent medical issue, to the details on how best to lose weight. After completing the eight-module course, the health professional should have a clear understanding on the causes of obesity, the regulation and vigorous defence of body weight, the complications of obesity, how to raise the issue of obesity, how to take a history and conduct an examination, how to achieve weight loss, how to keep the weight off and how to address obesity in children and adolescents.
The Core Learning Path is evidence-based and provides the essential information on obesity management.
SCOPE (the Specialist Certification of Obesity Professional Education) is the only internationally-recognised certification in obesity management, awarded by the World Obesity Federation. It equips health professionals with up to date, evidence-based obesity management
resources, to better treat their obese patients and to excel in their careers. Completion of the Core Learning Path is a requirement of SCOPE
