Obesity Diet and Exercise Education for the Primary Care Clerkship Using an Articulate Storyline 2 e-Learning Module

摘要

IntroductionDespite high obesity rates nationwide, many medical schools provide insufficient nutrition education. It has been difficult to deliver nutrition education in the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons primary care clerkship given its numerous clinical sites offering varied expertise. We supplemented the clerkship curriculum with an interactive e-learning module designed to provide medical students with knowledge and skills in nutrition and weight management, as well as an understanding of registered dietitians’ role. The module was created using Articulate Storyline 2 software and emphasizes active learning and simulated clinical decision-making.
