The intervention consisted of 3 modules from the Nutrition in Medicine/Nutrition Education for Practicing Physicians program. Data was analyzed using paired T tests & chi‐square tests for non‐paired categorical variables. P value <0.05 was considered significant.RESULTS36/44 of the residents participated. After completing the modules, residents reported they were more likely to complete many of the discussed skills. Provider confidence in counseling regarding nutritional issues improved in all areas. More residents were willing to refer patients to bariatric surgery. 35/36 found the modules informative and most (86.1%) believed their clinical skills improved.CONCLUSIONThe web‐based nutritional curriculum improved the clinical skills of OBGYN residents. This is a feasible and acceptable method of learning for practicing physicians.
