Abstract
There is a paucity of literature describing team-based approaches to weight-loss counseling and using a medical assistant (MAs) as a weight-loss counselor at the time of the patient’s arrival to the primary care clinic.

MAs and patients viewed the role of the MA as a weight-loss counselor positively.
