Design and evaluation of a national set of learning objectives: the medical physiology learning objectives project.

abstract：:Skinfold assessment is valid and economical; however, it has a steep learning curve, and many programs only include one exposure to the technique. Increasing the number of exposures to skinfold assessment within an undergraduate curriculum would likely increase skill proficiency. The present study combined observation...
