Description: Obesity is associated with significant comorbid conditions including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, as well as reduced quality of life and poorer mental health. While primary care providers often manage obesity-related comorbidities, obesity itself is not often directly addressed and remains undertreated. This educational program supports the consistent delivery of evidence-based obesity counseling and treatment in primary care settings. It focuses on improving the understanding and skills of primary care clinicians in working with their patients to manage their weight through evidence-based actions based in cultural humility.

Anthony Giuliani
Clincal Pharmacy Specialist

I am a clinical pharmacy specialist embedded in a large primary care clinic at Boston Medical Center. I operate under a scope of practice allowing me to independently manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, weight management, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, asthma/COPD and smoking cessation. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island and am also a board certified ambulatory care pharmacist (BCACP). Preventative medicine is my passion.
