Before You Register
Clear answers to the questions providers ask before adding medically supervised weight management to a new or existing practice.
This Friday program is designed for licensed healthcare providers who want practical education for adding or expanding a medically supervised weight management service line. Before registering or offering a new service, confirm that your credentials, prescribing authority, supervision arrangement, malpractice coverage, and state rules support the services you plan to provide.
Yes. The curriculum covers GLP-1 and semaglutide/tirzepatide weight-management protocols, patient selection, medical contraindications and cautions, lab requirements, medication ordering information, consent and medical-history forms, and common patient questions.
No. GLP-1 education is one part of a broader medical weight-management framework. The program also covers Clean Start Weight Loss® protocols, ketogenic and intermittent-fasting approaches, meal-replacement programs, prescription appetite suppressants, B6/B12 and lipotropic injections, hormone-related considerations, non-invasive body sculpting, and practice implementation.
The Friday program includes a hands-on body sculpting workshop. The medical weight-management curriculum also focuses on the clinical protocols, patient evaluation, documentation, consent, safety considerations, and practical systems needed to implement a program responsibly.
Attendees receive the Clean Start Weight Loss® program, including the GLP-1 Patient Guidebook, consent and medical-history forms, protocols, and medication-ordering information. These materials are intended to help providers move from education to a consistent, patient-centered program structure.
The Friday Medical Weight Management program offers 9 AMA PRA Category 1 CME credits. Eligible attendees also receive IAPAM Certification in Medically Supervised Weight Loss after completing applicable program requirements. Review current registration and accreditation materials for exact credit and credential details.
No. Training provides clinical education and implementation resources; it does not independently grant prescribing authority, change your license, or expand your legal scope of practice. Your ability to provide medical weight-management services depends on your credentials, applicable laws, delegation or supervision requirements, and professional judgment.
Yes. Medical Weight Management is the Friday component of the four-day Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in Scottsdale. You can combine it with the Saturday–Sunday Aesthetic Medicine Program and/or the Monday Successful Practice Startup Workshop, depending on your learning and practice goals.
That is the focus. The program is designed to help providers think beyond a prescription by connecting clinical protocols with patient education, forms, follow-up structure, lifestyle support, body sculpting, and business implementation. Providers should still tailor every program to their clinical judgment, local requirements, and the needs of each individual patient.
The program is held on Friday in Scottsdale, Arizona as part of the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium. Current dates, program availability, pricing, and registration options are listed on the Symposium registration page.
