Study Summary
Our research hypothesis is that residents who participate in the empathy and relational skills training modules will significantly improve in these skills as compared to a control group of residents who receive residency training as usual that includes the current standard training in the doctor-patient relationship. To evaluate this hypothesis, we will use a two-pronged approach to assessment. The first prong is the residents' self assessment of empathy and the second is from the patients' perspective.
Primary Outcome
At baseline: (1) Residents will complete the CARE measure (2) 10 patients in each resident's clinic will rate their encounter using the CARE Measure; (3) Residents will receive the Empathy and Relational Training Modules or residency training as usual. At the six-week endpoint: (4) residents will complete the CARE measure and (5) patients will complete the CARE measure after the clinic visit.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Empathy Training Modules
- BEHAVIORAL Residency Training as usual
