Emergency Medicine; Obesity, Nutrition, and Bariatric Care

This dual-focus program provides a unique opportunity to deepen your expertise in two critical areas of healthcare: Emergency Medicine and Obesity, Nutrition, and Bariatric Care. Sessions led by emergency physician Dr. Boris Garber will cover the management of acute conditions, including airway emergencies, abdominal trauma, and various toxicities. Concurrently, sessions with bariatric surgeon Dr. Michael Snyder and dietitian Jessica Crandall-Snyder will explore the multifaceted management of obesity, from pathophysiology and medical nutrition therapy to bariatric surgery and strategies for sustained weight loss. Participants will gain practical skills for assessing trauma, managing toxicological emergencies, and guiding patients through comprehensive obesity care. The curriculum covers topics such as debunking nutrition myths, addressing CNS infectious emergencies, and understanding the latest in medical and surgical interventions for obesity. This conference aboard the Celebrity Millennium provides focused educational time away from daily practice demands.
