First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a special training program can help medical residents (doctors in training) improve their skills in counseling patients about weight management. About 630 residents will be split into two groups: one gets the new program with sessions and email modules, the other gets a standard course. Their counseling skills will be tested over 18 months to see which approach works better.
