Qualitycast North - Dr. Omowumi Iyaoromi discusses overcoming weight bias

In this episode, Dr. Shyr Chui talks with Prince George Family Practitioner Dr. Omowumi Iyaoromi about the unrecognized problem of weight bias in health care, what it is, how it affects patients and how to reduce its impact on health care quality.

Dr. Iyaoromi shares the success she had with improving weight bias amongst a team of health care professionals as measured by the BOAP (beliefs about obese people) scale, and describes what she enjoys most about living and practicing in Northern BC.
