摘要

This short communication evaluates the inclusion of content about overweight and obesity in children within the curricula of five Australian medical schools. Despite the rising prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and its significant health impacts, the analysis reveals substantial gaps in the coverage of obesity-related topics, particularly those focused on children. The findings highlight the need for a more consistent and structured approach to obesity education in medical training. Enhancing curricula to include comprehensive obesity education, especially related to childhood, is crucial for preparing future doctors to address this growing public health issue effectively and sensitively.
