GEM's academic subcommittee collaborated with Kalana this month to develop learning objectives focused on weight stigma and health outcomes, aiming to enhance the medical curriculum for better patient care. Currently, weight stigma is covered passively in FOM1's Integration unit; explicit learning objectives will ensure this crucial content is assessed and studied thoroughly.
