About the Institute

The Training Institute is a four-day program at Stanford University to train and certify you to deliver the Stanford Pediatric Weight Control Program at your own organization.  The Institute will provide you with the principles, skills, practice, and materials needed to help you run a successful program in your own setting(s), and an exciting new interactive world wide web resource to help providers manage the program from recruitment to completion, set appropriate behavior change goals, monitor progress, provide feedback, and provide reports for both providers and patients. Successful completion of the Institute will certify your organization to use the Stanford Pediatric Weight Control Program and materials. Attendance will be limited to a small number of organizations to provide intensive, individualized training and coaching.
