Medical Residents Learning Weight Management Counseling Skills

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this study is to addresses the lack of weight management training physicians receive during their residency training. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How affective is the MRWeight curriculum at increasing medical residents weight management counseling (WMC) skills. * Evaluate residents' adoption of WMC skills in encounters with their patients * what would be the best way to get residents to adopt the WMC skills Residents in the comparison group will receive a course on obesity and weight management. The residents in the intervention group will have to attend 2 informational sessions and will receive 6 email modules on WMC. Both groups will also take part in 3 assessments over the course of 18 months to see which group has better WMC skills.
