The FORWARD: Focus on Obesity Education program is a modular obesity curriculum for professional schools to support the training of future MDs, DOs, PharmDs, NPs and PAs in the management of obesity. Program PowerPoint modules and streaming content were developed using exclusively open-access materials and are available at no cost to users. You may access, download or use the content for non-commercial and/or internal business purposes only.

Novo Nordisk Inc. provided funding support for the FORWARD: Focus on Obesity Education curriculum. FORWARD was developed by Novo Nordisk Inc., in collaboration with a steering committee of obesity clinician experts, to address gaps in obesity education and support the preparation of future health care providers to diagnose, care for and treat people with obesity. The goal of FORWARD is to present a complete, accurate, non-promotional and evidence-based picture of the current state of obesity.
