Mayo Clinic Weight Management Certification
I love learning! I completed more training hours at the Mayo Clinic in Weight Management with Dr. Hensrud.

In this training, I was able to learn from Dr. Donald Hensrud, a consultant at Mayo Clinic, on practices surrounding weight management and explore some case studies.
