BSCI Hiring Instructors - Awarding Licenses
by Colleen Cook, President, BSCI
Since announcing our expansion plans this spring, BSCI has awarded licenses to respected professionals in NY,
GA, TX, NJ, added instructors in CO, TN & MI, and welcomed new BSCI
Affiliated Programs in OK, MA, & CO. And, we've just begun!
Since 2000, Bariatric Support Centers International has led the bariatric support community to ensure optimal outcomes for bariatric patients. We have certified over 400 bariatric professionals through our Support Group Leader Certification and Back on Track Facilitator Certification.
Having served over 15,000 bariatric patients through the years, we have recognized and have responded to the need for more long-term educational and support resources by expanding our outreach. If you have recognized a need in your area for greater educational and support resources for WLS patients learn more about the opportunities below and call for a telephonic interview to discuss the possiblities.
For more information about the instructor requirements or obtaining a BSCI
license in your area, contact: Colleen Cook, President at 801-327-6500 or mcook@bariatricsupportcenter.com

With the
ongoing discussions around healthcare reform, legislators often get caught up in
the "politics" of crafting a bill and forget about the actual people that are
affected by their legislation. This is why legislators need to hear from YOUR
patients on the impact obesity and its treatment has made in their lives.
Patients' stories are very powerful and can make a meaningful difference in
supporting the Obesity Action Coalition's (OAC) efforts to improve access to
obesity treatment.
As such,
OAC has produced a short video, titled "Taking Action with the Obesity Action Coalition," on the importance of your
patients writing their elected officials.
We strongly encourage you to arrange for the video to be played during your
upcoming support group meetings. The video includes a brief introduction to the
OAC and a friendly tutorial on using the OAC's Legislative Action Center to
write legislators.
When it
comes to influencing our elected officials, we all know that there is power in
numbers; therefore, it is our goal to have this video shown in EVERY bariatric
support group in the United States. Please join us in those efforts by having
the OAC's "Taking Action" video shown at your support group and encouraging your
patients to raise their voice.
