Abstract

Shared medical appointments, in which a multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers meets with multiple patients in a group setting, may be an option for treating patients with obesity. To be effective, shared medical appointments need to address patients' nutrition, physical activity, appetite suppression, stress management, and sleep.
