Education Research: Targeting Self-Described Knowledge Gaps to Improve Functional Neurologic Disorder Education Among Clinicians
Qualitative analysis of the participant responses revealed priority areas of knowledge gaps, indicating potential underexplored avenues for high-impact education on FND. These areas include diagnostic uncertainty, such as the presence of comorbid medical illness, FSs, and tools to help the patient when best practice models are not available. Developing case-based learning to better foster illness scripts and modules on psychoeducation and psychological treatments for the nontherapist FND provider would enhance existing educational tools to allow providers in every setting to better care for patients with FND.
