Focused Practice Designation Review Course (FPDC)

Description:

Join more than 100 ASMBS members who have obtained Focused Practice Designation (FPD) in metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) by the American Board of Surgery (ABS). The ASMBS Weekend meeting in San Antonio will feature a comprehensive preparatory review course designed to enhance the understanding of high-yield topics in metabolic and bariatric surgery.

In addition to expanding the existing knowledge of obesity and its treatments, the course will also prepare attendees to succeed on the ABS – FPD examination. The course agenda is structured in 24 concise yet in-depth lectures plus a high-yield pearls review session, delivered over the span of 9 hours by a variety of leading content experts and surgical educators.
