During medical school I became interested in weight loss and got heavily involved in research. I've started working through the requirements for the American Board of Obesity Medicine CME pathway and should be done in a couple weeks. Part of the requirement to state that you are ABOM certified (even though it's not a recognized ABMS specialty) is to have completed a residency program and be board certified within that specialty. I'd have the information, and feel like I know more of it already, and have floated the idea of opening a weight loss clinic as a moonlighting opportunity and perhaps attach a gym to it with a friend who is a personal trainer and wants to open a gym as a separate business. Is this feasible while as a resident? It wouldn't be open likely until July, and I would be a PGY3 at that time and my schedule gets closer to 40-50 hrs a week at that time so I wouldn't be violating duty hours. Curious if anyone has experience with weight loss clinics or any other thoughts on this idea.
