AI-powered tool addresses conversations on obesity management
The new tool from ACP offers ACP members the opportunity to practice effective, evidence-based conversations about weight with patients in challenging virtual scenarios.
ACP offers an innovative new tool for conversations on obesity management that can help ACP members enhance their communication skills when counseling on weight management. The tool is based on the counseling concepts offered in Obesity Management 1: Lifestyle Modification, the first module in the ACP Obesity Management Learning Series. Users can:
- practice real-time conversations with a simulated patient, using their microphone or keyboard;
- apply the 5As framework (ask, assess, advise, agree, and assist) under the pressure of a realistic 10-minute session to approximate a busy clinical environment; and
- gain valuable, individualized feedback with evidence-based insights to refine their approach and opportunities to practice again with other patient scenarios.
