October Course of the Month
Understanding and Preventing Weight Bias in Patient Care
Why This Course?
Studies show that the majority of health providers have unintended and often unconscious negative attitudes towards patient with obesity.
Unfortunately, patients perceive these biases. Patients with larger bodies report that they often feel they are being blamed, judged, and treated as someone who is undeserving of their time and care.
Studies show that patients with obesity often delay seeking the care they need, fearing judgment or difficulty finding a healthcare provider with whom they feel comfortable. Studies also show that experiencing weight bias is linked to lower utilization, less effective self-management, and worse patient outcomes.
Patients who have experienced weight bias from others need specific actions from you to overcome the negative effects and prevent poor outcomes. This course will equip you with the insights and strategies you need increase patient trust, engagement, and prevent unintended weight bias from affecting the quality of care patients receive.

The examples and skits provided are real life situations I have encountered as a provider and also as a patient.
I loved everything about the course! I think it is so important as I am someone who is aware of weight bias as a provider and also as a patient.
I personally think this course is perfect and will be very useful for other healthcare professionals.
I picked up a few new approaches to patient interaction in addition to learning how to avoid bias—even unintentionally. There are not any courses on this subject, in my opinion, that are any better.
…the information is presented well and it is very easy to understand, and has formats that are beneficial to different learning types… I am a current student in medical school and I am glad that I got to experience this course as I think it will allow me to be a more compassionate provider.
Body acceptance is a growing movement and I respect that the time is being taken to educate providers how their assumptions can impact their patients. I think this is going to be a very effective course and tool for healthcare providers.
