AWSIM Member Rounds
A monthly member-only space for connection, peer support, and sustaining weight-inclusive care.
AWSIM Member Rounds is a live, 60-minute interdisciplinary gathering held on the third Wednesday of each month for AWSIM members who are working to implement and sustain weight-inclusive care in real-world clinical, educational, research, advocacy, and systems settings.
Each month, members will have the opportunity to connect with colleagues across disciplines, share challenges and wins, exchange resources, and reflect together on what it means to practice weight-inclusive care within weight-centric systems.
This is a low-pressure, community-centered space for professional connection, informal case-based reflection, and practical support.
What to Expect
AWSIM Member Rounds will be lightly facilitated and conversational. Each session may include a framing question, open discussion, resource sharing, and opportunities for members to raise questions, challenges, or themes they are navigating in their own work.
This space is designed to help members feel less isolated, build interdisciplinary relationships, and stay connected to the broader AWSIM community.
Important Note
AWSIM Member Rounds is a peer learning and networking space. It is not a formal CME session, clinical supervision, legal consultation, or patient-specific medical consultation. Participants should avoid sharing identifying patient information and remain responsible for applying their own clinical judgment within their professional scope and local practice context.
