Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Diet Counseling Self-Efficacy	Resident pre-assessment and post-assessment, expected to be 2 weeks after enrollment	Self-report of confidence (self-efficacy) in diet counseling; 4-point Likert-like scale scale; higher score means a better outcome.
Diet Counseling Skills	Post-hoc analysis of simulation activity, expected to be at 2 weeks after training intervention	We will also use an observation checklist to systematically capture resident shared decision-making and diet counseling skills. We will create this checklist based on a literature review of similar tools, such as the Shared Decision Making (SDM) SDM-9 and the coding scheme described in Alexander 2011. Higher score indicates a better outcome. Score range will be reported once the scale has been finalized.
Diet Counseling Competence	Resident pre-assessment and post-assessment, expected to be 2 weeks after enrollment	Self-report of diet counseling competency; 4-point Likert-like scale scale; higher score means better outcome
