What is PEP

مسار التميز الشخصى Student-Selected Components in the program

A Track: An integrated series of educational modular courses (5

courses: PEP1 to 5)

PEP is flexible enough to provide

an opportunity for students to study a range of topics

within and beyond the field of medicine or,

preferably, students are encouraged (if the student

prefers), to pursue a single theme or subject

throughout their study.

PEP Identifiers

Vocation: (individual's development of talents and

abilities in the choice and enjoyment of a career)

Search for self gifts and talents oriented toward the

coming professional carrier and explore options to

which a student might be specially drawn.

Context-based learning: (CBL)

The use of real-life and fictitious examples in order to learn

through the actual, practical experience with a subject rather than

just its mere theoretical parts.

Broad Aims of all PEPs

Adopt an active approach to learning based on curiosity and

exploration of knowledge

Develop communication in an educational context

Consider the problems that arise from learning an “expert

language”

OBESITY AND BEHAVIORAL TREATMENT

Definition:

It is a complex disorder involving an excessive

amount of body fat. Obesity isn't just a

cosmetic concern. It increases your risk of

diseases and health problems such as heart

disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.

Causes:

•Lack of Energy Balance

•A lack of energy balance most often causes

overweight and obesity. Energy balance means

that your energy IN equals your energy OUT.

•An Inactive Lifestyle

•Many people aren't very physically active. One

reason for this is that many people spend

hours in front of TVs and computers doing

work, schoolwork, and leisure activities. In

fact, more than 2 hours a day of regular TV

viewing time has been linked to overweight

and obesity.

•Genes and Family History

•Studies of identical twins who have been

raised apart show that genes have a strong

influence on a person's weight. Overweight

and obesity tend to run in families. Your

chances of being overweight are greater if one

or both of your parents are overweight or

obese.

•Smoking

•Some people gain weight when they stop

smoking. One reason is that food often tastes

and smells better after quitting smoking.

Treatment:

•For Adults

•Try to lose 5 to 10 percent of your current

weight over 6 months. This will lower your

risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) and other

conditions.

•For Children and Teens

•If your child is overweight or at risk for

overweight or obesity, the goal is to maintain

his or her current weight and to focus on

eating healthy and being physically active.

This should be part of a family effort to make

lifestyle changes.

•Lifestyle Changes

•Lifestyle changes can help you and your

family achieve long-term weight-loss success.

Example of lifestyle changes include:

•Following a healthy eating plan

•Learning how to adopt healthy lifestyle habits

•Over time, these changes will become part of

your everyday life.
