A Look Inside the AMA: Shaping the Future of Obesity Care

Join Dr. John Scott to discuss the new AMA efforts to improve obesity diagnosis, treatment, & advocacy.

At the June 2025 AMA Annual Meeting, delegates voted to formally elevate obesity to a strategic public health priority—placing it alongside hypertension and prediabetes in the AMA’s national health agenda.

We’ll explore how this shift—and the formation of a newly established Obesity Task Force—is unlocking opportunities to:

• Reduce the burden of prior authorization for anti-obesity medications (AOMs)

• Eliminate insurance exclusions and expand equitable access to bariatric surgery

• Improve reimbursement, reshape care standards, and drive more inclusive policies

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain firsthand insights into how national policy is evolving—and what it means for your patients, your practice, and the future of obesity care.
