CME (Continuing Medical Education) lectures
Yes, I do give CME lectures on obesity to healthcare professionals at facilities ranging from small community hospitals to large professional organizations (for example, the annual scientific assembly of the California Academy of Family Physicians). I generally donate the honorarium either to educational activities at that facility/organization (if they are nonprofit) or to other charitable causes.Previous page | Page 2 of 2
