    • Abstract:
      This Points to Remember column outlines an approach to initiating the discussion of obesity with a patient in the clinical setting. Written by faculty and residents of the Houston Methodist Family Medicine Residency Program, these points can help physicians develop a patient-centered approach to broaching the discussion of weight management that fosters an open dialogue and works to reduce weight stigma and biases surrounding obesity.
