Dr Nathalie Farpour-Lambert,

and Care Program Contrepoids, University Hospitals of Geneva,
Switzerland, became the new President of the European Association for
Study of Obesity (EASO) during ECO2018.

East Med Train the Trainer
Obesity is a key challenge to public health in Europe and the
east Mediterannean region, however specialised obesity training is not
widely available. Obesity care and public health strategies can
therefore vary enormously across these regions. EASO education
programmes provide a solution by offering comprehensive training for
health professionals working in the prevention and management of
obesity.
We will host a Train the Trainers session 23-24 September, 2018 at the
Polat Renaissance Hotel Istanbul, Turkey. Applications are now closed
but follow EASO news for future course offerings.
