Description
Jasmien Jaeken and co-authors built and pilot-tested a training course for family doctors in Belgium, reported in 2026. The course teaches shared decision making, where doctor and patient weigh the gains and risks of each choice together. Many doctors say they lack training in this skill, so the team mixed online lessons with live practice sessions.
Doctors took the course and then held practice visits with trained actors playing patients. Judges, the actors, and the doctors rated the visits before and after training. The study checks whether skills, knowledge, and plans to use the method all moved. Early results from a pilot like this guide wider training later.
