The Goal of the American Association of Bariatric Counselors is to develop specialized bariatric education and credentialing standards for already licensed/certified health and education professionals from diverse disciplines. In addition, a specialized accredited core curriculum in the bariatric sciences will be available for Master and Doctorate level students pursuing professional health and education careers.
Board Certification by the AABC affirms that its fellows are licensed/certified health or educational professionals that have completed specialized academic training in the Bariatric Sciences and must continue their specialized education to maintain their Board Certification.
