目的肥胖医学教育协作组织（OMEC）的成立是为了发展肥胖为重点的能力和基准，可用于本科和研究生医学教育项目主任。本文描述了用于创建能力的发展过程。方法15个对肥胖感兴趣的专业组织合作组成OMEC。以医学研究生教育认证理事会的六项核心能力作为领域和指导框架，共有36名小组成员通过面对面会议、电子邮件交流和电话会议进行合作。每个工作分组都采用了一个迭接程序来制定能力和评估基准。最初的工作随后由19个专业组织进行了外部审查。结果在六个领域开发了32种能力。每个能力包含五个描述性的评估评估基准。结论这套OMEC肥胖为重点的能力是第一个评估工具，开发用于本科生和研究生的医学培训计划的形成性和总结性评估。常规和更强大的评估，预计将提高卫生保健提供者的能力，以评估，预防和治疗肥胖。除了传播之外，还需要对能力和基准进行评价，以进一步提高其有效性和实用性。
Objective Obesity Medicine Education Collaborative (OMEC) was formed to develop obesity-focused competencies and benchmarks that can be used by undergraduate and graduate medical education program directors. This article describes the developmental process used to create the competencies. Methods Fifteen professional organizations with an interest in obesity collaborated to form OMEC. Using the six Core Competencies of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education as domains and as a guiding framework, a total of 36 group members collaborated by in-person meetings, email exchange, and conference calls. An iterative process was used by each working subgroup to develop the competencies and assessment benchmarks. The initial work was subsequently externally reviewed by 19 professional organizations. Results Thirty-two competencies were developed across the six domains. Each competency contains five descriptive measurement benchmarks for evaluator rating. Conclusions This set of OMEC obesity-focused competencies is the first evaluation tool developed to be used within undergraduate and graduate medical training programs for both formative and summative assessments. Routine and more robust assessment is expected to increase the competence of health care providers to assess, prevent, and treat obesity. In addition to dissemination, the competencies and benchmarks will need to undergo evaluation for further validity and practicality.
