TOS President Caroline Apovian, MD, FACP, FTOS, DABOM
 “The TOS Review Course is one of the only review courses in the United States. It’s a good one! You can earn all 30 required Group One Credits by attending both the Review Course and ObesityWeek. OW attendees who want to sit for the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) exam can have the best of both worlds at ObesityWeek 2018. They can attend the TOS Review Course to prepare for the exam and enjoy ObesityWeek 2018, since both events are in Nashville at the same time!”
