According to Angela Fitch, MD, president of the Obesity Medicine Association (OMA), clinician education on obesity has not kept pace with the increasing rates of the disease. Dr. Fitch states that despite the rising prevalence of obesity, healthcare professionals are not being adequately educated on the available treatment options. This lack of education is a concern as obesity rates are expected to reach 50% in the US by 2030. Dr. Fitch is a respected expert in the field, serving as the founder and chief medical officer at knownwell and having previously worked at the Massachusetts General Hospital Weight Center and Harvard Medical School.
