Revisiting POWER in the GLP-1 Age
Overview
First introduced through the Practice Guide on Obesity and Weight Management, Education, and Resources (POWER) framework, AGA’s approach to obesity care has been a cornerstone for multidisciplinary treatment. In 2026, the latest white paper update redefines this model for the GLP-1 era, emphasizing precision-based, coordinated care. This webinar distills the most important updates and their real-world implications.
Learning objectives
In this session, you’ll learn:
- How the updated POWER framework (originally released in 2017) reflects recent advances in obesity and cardiometabolic disease, including the integration of multidisciplinary, precision-based care models.
- How to identify newly approved anti-obesity medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, and their role in clinical practice.
- How to summarize current evidence supporting endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies and updated indications for metabolic and bariatric surgery.
- About AGA's episode of care model and broader policy and economic trends, including projected federal spending on anti-obesity medications, and their impact on practice and care delivery.
