Testing the ABCs of Serious Illness Program for Oncology Trainees: A Feasibility Trial Comparing Different Learning Formats for a Virtual Communication Curriculum
Recruitment was below target, but study activities were feasible in virtual format. The curriculum improved communication skills. The addition of virtual SPs and coaching optimized learning. The curriculum was associated with improved self-efficacy rating for serious illness communication with oncology patients. Lessons learned will support further medical education research in this area.
