Metabolic Health Symposium: Catalyzing Science to Action for Transformation and Resilience Across the Lifespan

Metabolic Health Symposium: Catalyzing Science to Action for Transformation and Resilience Across the Lifespan is organized by Swedish Medical Center (SMC) and will be held from Jun 09 - 11, 2022 at Renaissance Seattle Hotel, Seattle, Washington, United States of America.

Intended Audience:
This course is designed for physicians and all allied health professionals who care for patients in the following specialties: family medicine, internal and pediatric medicine, and their sub-specialties including cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, gerontology, neurology, obesity medicine/bariatric medicine, and more. While the course content is designed for health care professionals, we invite members of our community advocating for health care and patients as well as general public attendees to join our live, virtual broadcast as well.

Description:
Don't miss attending Swedish Medical Center’s Metabolic Health Symposium - Catalyzing Science to Action for Transformation and Resilience Across the Lifespan! Over 30 internationally renowned speakers are presenting at this in-person & virtual CME event featuring 30+ content hours exploring and applying the science of metabolichealth and nutrition to patient care.

This 3-day in-person and virtual medical education symposium will explore and apply the science of metabolic health and nutrition over the lifespan, through the three pillars of metabolic health: Protect the Liver, Feed the Gut, Support the Brain.  Now, more than ever, we must realize the link between diet, lifestyle, and the majority of chronic diseases that plague modern society.  The prevalence of obesity and metabolic disease in the form of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and lipid disorders is a serious problem that continues to grow at an alarming rate, particularly among ethnic populations. From pediatrics to geriatrics, there is no systems-wide approach.  Implementing effective nutrition intervention in metabolic disease requires unlearning previously accepted truths, taking action to prevent the development of metabolic syndrome, and managing and reversing those that are already established.  It makes little sense to continue promoting the status quo. We need to reevaluate the science, the history, and re-educate ourselves on how to reverse this pandemic of diet and lifestyle driven diseases, and that is the goal this symposium aims to achieve.

This year, our agenda is full of expert-driven content, panel discussions, breakout sessions, and more with over 32 internationally-recognized experts and amazing thought leaders in the fields of metabolic health and nutrition.  This will feature over 30 hours of accredited, educational content available on-demand to registrants for 60 days post event. 

Learning Objectives:
By attending this course, the participant will provide better patient care through an increased ability to:
• Name systems in the body that can assist health care professionals predict the potential development of metabolic disease and take steps to prevent it
• Discuss the impact of metabolic disease on patients, families, communities, and health care systems; and the societal cost of metabolic disorders
• Educate patients on the connection between diet and metabolic disease
• Encourage patients to prepare and consume foods that promote metabolic health
• Advocate for better nutrition and nutrition education to improve community health related to diet and lifestyle-driven diseases

Note: 30 hours total of live and on-demand education are included, available for 60 days post event.
