A Primary Care-Based Weight Navigation Program.

Importance: Evidence-based weight management treatments (WMTs) are underused; strategies are needed to increase WMT use and patients' weight loss.

Objective: To evaluate the association of a primary care-based weight navigation program (WNP) with WMT use and weight loss.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study comprised a retrospective evaluation of a quality improvement program conducted from October 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021.

The Development of a Video Intervention to Improve Senior Medical Students' Performance on Outpatient Telephone Encounters: a Delphi Analysis and Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: Postgraduate trainees address outpatient telephone calls (OTCs) with little prior training. This study determines the skills necessary for OTCs and examines whether a video intervention improves medical students' performance on simulated OTCs.

Materials And Methods: We utilized a Delphi technique to determine skills needed for OTCs and created a 9-min video teaching these skills.

Twelve tips for the integration of medical students into telemedicine visits.

The use of telemedicine in clinical care has grown significantly in the last few years and has only increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given that many physicians will be expected to deliver virtual care moving forward, it is important for medical students to gain exposure via this modality during their clinical training. Many medical schools are actively working to integrate students into telemedicine.

Internal medicine paging curriculum to improve physician-nurse interprofessional communication: a single center pilot study.

Effective physician-nurse communication is critical to patient safety, yet internal medicine trainees are rarely given feedback on this skill. In order to address this gap, we developed a 4-week simulated paging curriculum for senior medical students. Standardized Registered Nurses administered five acute inpatient paging cases to students via telephone and scored communication on a 10-point global scale (1 =  to 10 = ) and seven communication domains using a 5-point Likert-type scale.
