Beyond Willpower: Obesity as a Medical Condition

With over 20 years of experience in endocrinology and diabetes care, Dr. Selma Jusufović brings deep clinical insight into one of the most pressing health challenges of our time.

In her upcoming MedTalk, “Beyond Willpower: Obesity as a Medical Condition,” she reframes obesity through a scientific and clinical lens, challenging the misconception that it is simply a matter of personal choice. Instead, she presents obesity as a complex, chronic disease influenced by hormonal pathways, genetic factors, and environmental influences.

This talk offers a valuable opportunity for students and healthcare professionals to deepen their understanding of metabolic disease and rethink how obesity is approached in both clinical settings and everyday conversations.

Open to medical students and young healthcare professionals, this session will combine real-life scenarios, clinical reasoning, and practical approaches to help you recognize deterioration early and act with confidence. Whether you’re interested in emergency medicine or simply want to strengthen your clinical instincts, this is a workshop you won’t want to miss.
