The need

Obesity is now the disease under most of the diseases we treat.

National ICMR-INDIAB data find abdominal obesity in roughly two of every five adults, and Asian Indians develop diabetes and heart disease at a lower body weight than Europeans (the thin-fat pattern). GLP-1 medicines have arrived, yet most physicians feel undertrained. This course closes that gap: practical, current, India-specific training that lets you diagnose, stage and treat obesity, and build an obesity practice, with confidence.

The programme

A monthly rhythm that builds real skill.

Case-based teaching organised around one memorable clinical workflow, the CASPIAN framework. Each session opens and closes with a live quiz, so every doctor sees their own learning gain.

1

Learn by cases

Every idea arrives with a patient you already recognise from your own clinic, in plain, clear English.

2

Live pre and post test

Ten questions in Kahoot at the start and the end of each session. The room watches its score climb, the fastest proof the teaching worked.

3

Certificate and exam

A blueprinted 60-question final examination after Module 12. Pass mark 60%, distinction 75%, followed by a convocation.
