SCOPE School Brazil

The World Obesity Federation and ABESO are pleased to be hosting a SCOPE School in São Pedro, Brazil this May.

Join World Obesity Federation and ABESO for a full-day programme designed to advance the understanding and management of obesity through a global, evidence-based lens. This event brings together experts, thought leaders, and healthcare professionals to explore the evolving science, policy, and clinical strategies required to address one of the most pressing health challenges of our time.

Through expert-led sessions, panel discussions, and interactive dialogue, participants will gain practical tools and frameworks to improve patient outcomes and advocate for obesity care as a healthcare priority.

This SCOPE School will represent an opportunity for both clinical and public health professionals, as well as people with lived experience and journalists, to increase their knowledge of obesity, interact with their peers, and share challenges and success stories.

Participants will receive 4 points towards SCOPE Certification.
