Midwest Metabolic Clinical Symposium

Experts from across the globe will present current and emerging best practices for the management of obesity; diabetes; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; cardiovascular disease; pediatric metabolic diseases; and PCOS.
Organizers hope bringing awareness to the conditions and their impact will help physicians identify at-risk patients early.
