Weight stigma exists in healthcare in multiple forms and harms patients and providers in myriad ways. This talk will provide a comprehensive look at the ways that weight stigma impacts healthcare from research to direct care, what research and lived experience tell us about the best ways to care for higher weight patients, and what healthcare providers can do to make sure that they are providing the highest level of evidence-based, ethical care to patients of all sizes.
