In this episode, Obesity Medicine Specialist and OMA Clinical Education Director Dr. Nicholas Pennings is joined by Dr. Courtney Younglove to explore OMA’s new Practice Management Algorithm, a practical resource designed to help clinicians navigate the business and operational complexities of obesity medicine practice. The conversation examines the gaps the Practice Management Algorithm was developed to address, how its eight practice management domains can support clinicians across a variety of practice models and career stages, and how the resource can be used to tackle real-world operational and financial challenges.
