Association for Weight and Size Inclusive Medicine
Introducing…
Association for Weight and Size Inclusive Medicine (AWSIM)
We are an international medical organization working to advance weight-inclusive care. We challenge the pathologization of body size, which continues to drive healthcare disparities and disproportionately harm larger bodied patients. By providing mentorship, education, and advocacy, our organization serves as the professional home for physicians practicing and learning about weight-inclusive care. We envision a world where patients of all sizes have access to empathetic and evidence-based health care.
