NCT ID NCT06074237
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a short training program could help pediatric and family medicine residents feel more confident and knowledgeable when counseling families about vaccines. 112 residents completed online modules and a simulated patient visit. The goal was to see if this training improves their communication skills and, eventually, vaccination rates.
