Overview

The symposium is a two-day event where the healthcare community can gain specialty-specific insight on the multidisciplinary approach to Metabolic Disease. Experts from across the country will present sessions focusing on current and emerging best practices for the management of:

- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Neurogastric disorders
- Pediatric Metabolic Diseases
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
- Impact of these metabolic disorders on renal, pulmonary, dermatologic, and endocrinologic diseases

These conditions are seen by all physicians and are often not captured or under-diagnosed. Our aim is to bring attention to these common disorders and need for early identification of those at highest risk. Attendees will be introduced to current and new treatment strategies to address these multiple overlapping disorders.
