Wheel is changing the way healthcare works by putting clinicians first because happier clinicians make healthier patients.
Join us in this Grand Rounds as Dr. Shawn Cole reviews prescription options being used for weight loss management in telemedicine. He will discuss the various tools you can use to engage in effective shared decision-making and patient goal setting. This webinar is free for Wheel clinicians.
Dr. Cole is board-certified in internal medicine and has a strong academic primary care and urgent care background. Following completion of his internal medicine-primary care residency training at Yale-New Haven Hospital, he enjoyed six years at the Veterans Affairs
Connecticut Health System where he assumed an academic primary care role and helped lead the first nurse-practitioner fellowship in interprofessional primary care. Subsequently, he became a Medical Director for Urgent Care and Patient-Centered Medical Home in the Yale-New Haven Health System.
His leadership and passion for innovative healthcare solutions led to Dr. Cole being selected as the physician champion for the health system’s telemedicine initiative. He has since become a national leader in telemedicine serving as a telemedicine implementation advisor for health systems, clinical practices, and virtual health start-up companies. Dr. Cole has won numerous teaching awards because of his enthusiasm for leadership and education. He also holds master’s degrees in health administration and in applied nutrition.
