Developing and implementing an obesity medicine fellowship program: Experience at a U.S. academic medical center.
Article in Obesity pillars, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Obesity is a prevalent and complex chronic disease yet physicians' training in obesity care is often inadequate. Fellowship training in obesity medicine is now available at multiple academic medical centers; however, there has been limited description and evaluation of these programs to date. Therefore, this article describes our curriculum development process and fellowship program implementation experience at a U.S. academic medical center. Methods: This was a structured, multi-phase curriculum development study guided by established obesity medicine competencies and certification standards. We used a six-step approach to curriculum development to guide our design with content informed by the Obesity Medicine Education Collaborative competencies, American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) content outline, and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education - International Obesity Medicine Fellowship program requirements. We utilized several tools of instruction as well as modes of assessing learners. Feedback from fellows and faculty was used to iteratively refine the program over the initial 3 years. Results: We identified 19 content domains key for obesity medicine. Within each domain, we created instructional components including didactic e-lectures, directed readings, reflective assignments, role play activities, and clinical experiences. We developed evaluation tools to determine trainee progress including knowledge check assessments, mini-clinical evaluation exercises (mini-CEXs), and structured feedback. Early outcomes indicate that trainees achieve competence in obesity care, engage in meaningful scholarly activity, and benefit from professional development opportunities. All graduating fellows have successfully achieved ABOM certification. Feedback has informed fellowship refinements, particularly improvements in rotation timing and duration as well as additional subspecialty elective options. Conclusion: This obesity medicine fellowship curriculum provides a structured, multidisciplinary program and graduates have achieved competency in obesity care. Obesity medicine fellowship training holds promise in advancing the field through innovative education and leadership development.
