Five new SCOPE modules now available
Five brand new modules are available to access for free on the new SCOPE platform
We worked with leading experts to develop five brand new e-learning modules on important and often overlooked aspects of obesity management. Topics covered in our new courses include: understanding patient perspectives on obesity; binge eating disorder; obesity in intellectual disability; complications of obesity specific to males; and helping patients to change their eating habits.
All five modules are available free of charge on the new SCOPE E-Learning platform in our updated, mobile-friendly format. The courses can be accessed in English, Spanish, Portuguese and French, and all translations feature voiceovers from native speakers. The modules also feature downloadable graphs and audio transcripts, plus references lists including links to free related articles in World Obesity's journals.
