Eight U.S. medical schools will be participating in the study: Weight Management Counseling in Medical Schools, also known as MSWEIGHT. This is a five-year randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to compare the efficacy of two approaches to learning weight management counseling: 1)traditional education (TE) and; 2) multi-modal educational intervention (MME). The study aims are to refine and compare the efficacy of MME to TE on observed student weight management counseling skills measured through the primary outcome, the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).
Primary Outcome
The primary outcome is the OSCE, the standard method for evaluating medical students' skill level at U.S. medical schools. The investigators will compare the efficacy of MME to TE on weight management counseling skills assessed among two separate 3rd year student classes (pre and post MSWeight implementation). MME and TE students will be compared regarding the mean score.
