Where the framework is used with patients

The clinic this course grew out of is Caspian Healthcare in Vijay Nagar Colony, Hyderabad, and its obesity material is written for patients and is open to everyone. Doctors on the course are welcome to point their own patients at it rather than reproduce it: the obesity section covers assessment using Indian cut-offs, protein and muscle, side effects, storage during power cuts, counterfeit supply and stopping. The medicines pages set out the four molecules licensed in India with current prices and the named trial behind every figure, and the treatment options planner applies affordability as a gate before ranking what is left on the evidence, which is the sequence taught in the course.

Our approach

The course is funded entirely by participants' tuition, with no pharmaceutical or commercial sponsorship of content, faculty or assessment. It is case-based and clinic-ready, designed so that doctors can use what they learn the same week.
