Obesity Medicine Physician An obesity medicine physician is a physician with expertise in the field of obesity medicine. This field of medicine requires competency in and a thorough understanding of the treatment of obesity and the genetic, biologic, environmental, social, and behavioral factors that contribute to obesity.
