Independent Learning Module Shows Effectiveness in Improving Preclinical Medical Student Knowledge, Comfort, and Attitudes in Screening and Diagnosis of Eating Disorders
Findings provide preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of a brief self-paced independent learning module in improving medical students' knowledge, comfort, and attitudes in the initial identification and management of eating disorders. Future research can build on these initial findings to examine longer-term knowledge sustainment and additional interventions that may influence the application of knowledge or skills in real-world practice.
