(ROGMF-2 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a program that helps doctors manage obesity better through expert mentorship and online support. It targets obese or overweight patients with conditions like hypertension and diabetes, aiming to improve doctors' skills and confidence in treating these patients.
Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop your current medications. However, if your medication has changed in the last 6 months, you may not be eligible to participate.
Is the obesity management training generally safe for participants?
How does the 2-day preceptorship on obesity management differ from other treatments for obesity?
The 2-day preceptorship on obesity management is unique because it focuses on training healthcare providers, particularly nurse practitioners and residents, to improve their skills and confidence in managing obesity. Unlike standard treatments that directly target patients, this approach enhances the ability of healthcare professionals to effectively counsel and support patients in managing their weight.12567
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment 2-day preceptorship on obesity management?
Research shows that immersive educational programs, like a 2.5-day obesity summit, significantly increased participants' knowledge and confidence in managing obesity, with a 110% relative increase in knowledge and competence. This suggests that similar short-term, intensive training programs can effectively improve healthcare providers' ability to manage obesity.12468
