Who is a Weight Loss Specialist?

A weight loss specialist also called a bariatrician or an obesity medicine specialist is a licensed physician who has received training in the area of medical weight loss.

While all doctors have training in weight loss and nutrition, an obesity medicine specialist has special training and can offer care that a general physician cannot. With the help of personalized programs, the doctor can help a person lose weight and also keep the weight off. A bariatrician is different from bariatric surgeons who perform weight loss surgery, whereas a bariatrician provides medically supervised weight loss programs.

The methods used by an obesity medicine specialist will help you lose weight which will depend on your current level of health, your preferences, and many other factors. Techniques that can be used to help achieve your weight loss goals could include exercise programs, nutritional counseling, appetite suppressants, or other medications.

What are the qualifications of a Weight Loss Specialist?

Science students who have appeared in +2 (with physics, chemistry, and biology as main subjects) need to clear a medical entrance test. After completing the four years of MBBS course and one year and six months of mandatory training, one has to enroll in an MD course to work as a weight loss specialist.

After completing hospital residency, a weight loss doctor will need to meet the credential requirements set by the country's bariatric medicine licensing board.
