CME (Continuing medical education) lectures

Yes, I do give CME  lectures on obesity to healthcare professionals at facilities ranging from small community hospitals to those of large professional organizations (e.g., the annual scientific assembly of the California Academy of Family Physicians). I generally donate the honorarium either to educational activities at that facility/organization (if they are nonprofit) or to other charitable causes.
