The hardcore of Chinese general practice residency (GPR) program is diagnosis and treatment. The training of specific clinical skills is scant. As aging population is on growth, chronic disease management should been shed more lights on. For such reason, this article aims to elaborate the clinical skill training for GPR with the case of adult weigh management (AWM).

Referring to the Obesity Guidelines for Clinicians, the authors raise up three approaches to address the issue. Namely, (1) enhancing the sensitivity to obesity and overweight; (2) improving the ability to diagnose obesity and overweight; (3) integrating "ABCDEF" strategy into syllabus and constructing a "mentor demonstration-mentee practice-feedback loop" in training.

Although the applicability of clinical training of AWM has still been tested, the implementation of it will definitely inspire future general practice physician who plays a major role as community’s health gate keeper.
