Weight Inclusive Care Training Logo

What if you could increase patient satisfaction, retention, and outcomes with small shifts in your care approach?

Research shows that weight-focused care causes real, measurable harm. Here's what the evidence tells us:

🩺

Delayed Diagnoses

Symptoms attributed to weight instead of properly investigated, leading to missed or late diagnoses.

🚫

Healthcare Avoidance

Patients delay or avoid care entirely due to past experiences of weight-based stigma.

⚠️

Increased Eating Disorders

Weight-focused messaging from providers contributes to disordered eating and clinical eating disorders.

📉

Reduced Access to Treatment

Patients in larger bodies receive fewer evidence-based treatments and more weight-loss referrals.

What if I'm not sure I have weight bias?
Most providers don't realize the extent of weight bias in healthcare. We have been doing this work for 10+ years and still find ways that bias shows up for us personally.  Even if you have explored most of your biases, this course will help create an inclusive culture in your workplace and give you tools to use in discussions with colleagues about size-inclusive care. 

The course includes self-reflection tools and the Harvard Implicit Association Test to explore that safely. This training is designed to meet you where you are — with curiosity, not judgment.
