The purpose of the study was to measure the effectiveness of a physician-educator led clinical documentation workshop, embedded with 7 persuasive social-marketing based messages, on medical student response using a targeted asthma template. Stated differently, whether a physician-educator could "persuade" medical students to use an evidence-based EMR asthma template to document an outpatient mild persistent asthma encounter with a patient.
