Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Brief Summary:

The study has three main goals: The first goal is to make a skills training program that improves how doctors talk with, listen to, and work with patients. The second goal is to make sure the process of collecting data and completing the program can be done. The third goal is to make sure the skills training program is feasible and acceptable for doctors.

Study Activities:

* Doctors will first complete a questionnaire and have their patients' appointments audio-recorded.
* Then they will go through the training program.
* After finishing the program, doctors will have more patient appointments audio-recorded.
* Then the doctors will complete questionnaires again and have an interview with the study team.
