The Ethicon Online MARS Course is LIVE! I took part in the initial MARS course and found it quite fascinating. Anyone that has an interest in Obesity and Bariatrics should take this free online course.

It's not really live until October. This is just a little content teaser for what's about to be served shortly. Watching the first course really educated me on the complexities of Obesity.

Thanks, I will go check it out! This should be extremely interesting, especially the following points:

Week 2: Debunking the myth that weight can be reliably controlled by voluntarily adjusting energy balance through diet and exercise

Week 3: Debunking the myth that bariatric surgery induces weight loss primarily by mechanical restriction and nutrient malabsorption

Week 4: Debunking the myth that vertical sleeve gastrectomy is not a metabolic procedure

Week 5: Debunking the myth that patient behavior is the primary determinant of outcomes following bariatric surgery

Week 6: Looking Ahead…
