Educational workshops help physicians (MDs) include physical activity and exercise (PAE) content in more patient appointments. It is unclear if MDs with varying degrees of confidence discussing PAE with their patients equally benefit from such training. We evaluated whether MDs' initial confidence affects the impact of an educational PAE workshop.
