IAPAM Reports on hCG Best Practices: Physician Supervision is Critical in hCG for Weight Loss

The IAPAM is committed to educating physicians in the industry's best practices for medical weight loss management.

    LAS VEGAS, NV, May 20, 2010 /Nutrition PR News/ -- In support of this commitment, the IAPAM completed a survey of several experts in the use of hCG in a medically supervised weight loss program. These experts agree that physician supervision is the key to successful hCG weight loss, and that patients must follow the protocol precisely and should be under a physician's care, so that possible side effects can be understood and managed.

Proponents of hCG for weight management agree that the ultimate success of hCG in weight loss is strictly linked to medical supervision and strict adherence to the medical protocol designed by Dr. Simeons. It is the responsibility of health care professionals to supervise, advise, guide and control their patients health before, during and after treatment. The physician should be able to establish which patients are good candidates for treatment with hCG, and together with these patient, set realistic expectations that will allow for a successful process.

Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine, and one of the expert faculty instructors at the IAPAM's hCG Physician Weight Loss Training, is hearing from the IAPAM members "that medically supervised hCG weight loss programs are in tremendous demand by patients," and is therefore seeing a correlating increase in the demand for the IAPAM's training program for physicians. However, Russell notes that, "the rate of success in hCG patients that are not supervised during treatment is considerably lower than those who are supervised by a physician that adheres strictly to the protocol," and "through education, doctors can appreciate the effects of medications, the implications of plateauing, the importance of vitamin supplements, and understand all the other nuances in the protocol that result in patient satisfaction and success for a healthcare practice."

Given that hCG for weight loss is not, as Dr. Scott Morris emphasizes, "a catch all diet, and "not everyone may be ready for hCG," training on, and understanding of, the hCG protocol is essential. Through education, doctors can appreciate the effects of medications, the implications of plateauing, the importance of vitamin supplements, and understand all the other nuances in the protocol that result in patient satisfaction and success for a healthcare practice.

In support of this training goal, the IAPAM's has developed an exclusive training program for physicians wishing to add hCG and Medically Supervised Weight Loss Programs to their existing practices. The IAPAM hCG Weight Loss Training is offered the Friday before each IAPAM Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona.
