Dr. Katherine Morrison is a pediatric endocrinologist, Professor and Co-Director of the Centre for Metabolism, Obesity and Diabetes Research at McMaster University and sees patients in the Growing Healthy program and the Pediatric Lipid clinic at MCH. Having attended the University of Calgary for medical school and pediatric training, she undertook her pediatric endocrinology training at Stanford University. She has subsequently worked at the University of Manitoba and Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich before moving to McMaster – where she has been the last 24 years (Yikes!). Her research is centered around the etiology, consequences and treatment of obesity and lipid disorders in children.
In this week's core session of Grand Rounds, audience members will be familiar with the current evidence base regarding the management of obesity in the pediatric age group.
