Executive Bariatric Stakeholder Advisory Group

Our Executive Stakeholders provide feedback on study design, dissemination and facilitate the engagement of broader stakeholder groups, with the goal to create a more nimble body of professionals who could contribute to the study with the same importance as the leadership core.
