Program for Seminar 1

Program for Seminar 3

Program for Seminar for the Dr Holm model's pedagogy and communication

Program for Brush-Up Seminar

The seminars are structured so that after seminar 1 you can start applying the Dr Holm method with the adjacent materials. While developing your own experience, there will be opportunity to participate in the follow-up seminar, Seminar 2, which deals with expectations and adjustment of the treatment, according to challenges, body composition, normalization and end of treatment including dealing with dropouts.

Seminar 3 is a contemplation (in depth) seminar that focuses on the paradigm shift that the Dr Holm model represents and which entails a sophisticated understanding of communication, flow, and rhythm. The Dr Holm model conveys the implementation of direct and indirect effects through a number of strategies, which strive to offer the best possible treatment. The seminar for the Dr Holm model's pedagogy and communication is a practically oriented seminar with a focus on pedagogy and verbal and nonverbal communication, where pattern-recognizing are central key elements in the consultation.

All seminars are held and lead by Associate Professor, Chief Physician, Consultant, PhD Jens-Christian Holm and co-workers, who have great experience in developing treatment groups in municipalities across the country.

All seminars are a 2-day seminar with accommodation available, which provides a broad insight into the understanding of the situation of children, adolescents and adults with obesity, including the basis for an effective treatment approach. The Dr Holm model counter several of the most common pedagogical approaches that is commonly expressed in methods like "Small Steps", "You Decide" or treatment models based on motivation. The Dr Holm model has shown outstanding results, both in terms of weight management and maintenance, but also reducing the degree of obesity-related complications, which currently inspires at an international level, and has as an example been shown on BBC World Health Check and on BBC World News.

The seminars serve both as a starting seminar for health care professionals who have not previously treated patients with obesity but are also relevant to refining the methods of treatment in those already experienced in treating patients with obesity.

The Dr Holm model is a complex communicative and pedagogical discourse that integrates a Hippocratic oath-based responsibility for a multi-complex disease system, which is often underestimated and incorrectly classified as, for example, a behaviorist treatment model.

The Dr Holm model is a caring mindset that carefully focuses on the best for the patient based on the patient's disease presentation and individual challenges, and contributes directly to reducing guilt, shame and self-blame and indirectly reduces stigma and discrimination.

It is our years of experience that a thorough education over time is necessary to be able to reap the results that our evidence shows and the built-in pedagogical benefits, which provide a better understanding of both patient and healthcare professionals and thus improve the processes in the Dr Holm model.
